I have to agree (at least) with this statement from Novell :

Nothing in this new draft of GPL3 inhibits Novell’s ability to include GPL3 technologies in SUSE Linux Enterprise, openSUSE, and other Novell open source offerings, now and in the future.


Yep, but only because the current draft features the explicit "grace period" until the 28th of March 2007.
