Yes, as typical the MKT FUD usually is the factor, while it is correct
that RH and IBM press about this was made a couple weeks ago SuSE has had
ports for PPC based systems, for some time and just as many press
releases:

The thing to consider is that ISV and OEMs always go get SuSE to do
the eng work and get it all running, then it gets MKT fluff and press and
sold by RH. So, depends what you want. At least from what I have seen from

AMD (Sledgehammer)
IBM i/p/z Series
Intel 64
Oracle
SAP

In all cases above I have seen when the dust settles RH go gets a PR
release and says "me too!" Probably a good way to _use_ (read how you
want) GPL.

SAP seems to be the last one on the SuSE bandwagon, taking bets on time to
RH partnership/Press?
