This IS an important point and MUST be mentioned.
the same goes for Robert Love as well.

FTFL, "It is true that one prominent open-source developer, Samba
programmer Jeremy Allison, did leave Novell over the Microsoft/Novell
patent partnership and was subsequently hired by Google. However, in a
brief email exchange with DesktopLinux, Love wrote that he was not
leaving Novell because of the Microsoft/Novell patent deal."
However, until we hear from the horse's mouth/blog truth can't be
established. I'll also mirror Jeremy's sentiments that Suse/OpenSuse is
a very fine and advanced distro and deserves a lot better than novell as
its parent company.
