I also want to say that I am very pleased with SuSE for listening to our concerns and being willing to reconsider. While I'm not completely satisifed (what consumer ever is?), these three options are fair, reasonable, and sensible, and I believe they are a workable compromise to the concerns we raised on the mailing list and making sure that SuSE gets a fair price for their work. Thanks to Marcus Kraft and Jens Sandman for being willing to listen and discuss this reasonably, and to Joachim Schroeder for taking a lot of heat for something that probably wasn't his idea. -- db
