The only page on the SpiderOak website, where openSUSE is mentioned is in the 
FAQ section. [1] (Open SuSE?)

I think it would not be that easy. According to the SpiderOak page in the 
openSUSE wiki, it states that openSUSE users get a 15% discount, if you buy 
space from them. [2] So, there must be a deal or an agreement or something. 
What are the conditions for SpiderOak for promoting openSUSe, as stated in 
this agreement?
