You have valid point about someone put a rootkit in and call it OpenSuSE. But if you read GPL, there is no warranties whatsoever and it even doesn't prohibit you from re-distributing.

Again, is openSuSE 100% GPL compliance? The answer is No.
When you install openSuSE and Mandriva for example. Read the license carefully. You will see where the difference is. And I'm sure you're aware of it.

I haven't paid attention much to Fedora Core, which is a project from Red Hat. I don't think they prohibit you to re-distribute FC, do they? So, why can't Novell let go of its tm name as RH did with Fedora Core?
