OpenSUSE 10.2 Beta 2 has been released.
"I'm glad to announce the second beta of openSUSE 10.2 codename Basilisk Lizard. It contains a large number of enhancements and updates done by the open source community and Novell's development teams. For Beta 2 we updated to OpenSync 0.20 and would ask for some testing by the community. We have prepared some testcases for specific mobile devices, like mobile phones which synchronize with SyncML, IrMC and other protocols. The testcases also include simple connection tests for Palm Devices. We would really appreciate any help and hopefully many success reports."

It is FUD when you are spreading Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt when you don't have all the details.
There is uncertainty and doubt because we don't have the details. We have uncertainty and doubt because it is a fact that Microsoft has not precluded the possibility of sueing authors or the software under the GPL. By grantng certain parties exemption for the possibility of law suit they have implicitly stated that they may sue.
The broader GPL community is upset because Novell has brokered a deal with a notorious company that gives them or only their customers special protection against this same company. Which is totally contrary to the spirit if not the letter of the license. The 'letter' of course remains to be seen.
Lastly when 'FUD' is used it implies Fear Uncertainty and Doubt where no real justification exists. In this case there is very real justification. Nothing wrong with being legitemately fearful, uncertain or doubtful.
