So, you're saying that openSUSE is guilty by association, a law practice which is practically abondoned by all democratic courts I know of? The point is that although people make dramatic posts about renouncing any connections to Novell they have far less reservations using products supported by them, which probably wouldn't exist or in a far less complete state without their financial involvement. It's a little bit hypocritic trying to eat the cake and eat it, meaning in this case having the moral high ground and still keep the benefits.
If you want to isolate Novell from the Free Software Community why not fork some Novell funded projekts and refuse any patches made by them? If the case against them is so convincing it shouldn't be a problem persuading all developers with no ties to Novell to concentrate their efforts on the fork.
