I translated it using Konquerors babelfish feature [1] -
although the translation wasn't perfect, I'd say I got
the content.
To avoid that everybody has to call babelfish on itsself,
here's it's translation. Please note that I did not
proofread it ;-)

The social operation of the project
It must be obvious for all that Novell ensures quasi
totality the expenditure of the project. Its receipts
relating to SUSE Linux directly are not known, but there
is not any doubt that they do not cover the whole of the
expenditure. Nearly two hundred and fifty employees work
on SUSE Linux, without it being possible to estimate the
ratio openSUSE/professional products
The interest of Novell is the sale of the professional
products derived from SUSE Linux which you can examine on
the site of http://www.novell.com and the flattering
reputation which accompanies the parainage by projects of
this type, without forgetting the assistance of the
volunteers whose importance increases with time.
Novell decided to behave as a benevolent dictator, i.e.
that Novell reserves the right to decide on all as a last
resort, but attaches a great importance to work of the
users and volunteers.
In practice, it is very rare that a page written by a
volunteer is erased or modified by an employee of Novell
and, during this first year of operation (2005-2006) one
could reproach Novell for being long in implementing
certain decisions (the means are limited), but not to
censure the volunteers.

IMHO, this would really be something that should be
listed on the project overview page - but please don't
use the above machine translation ;-)
I fixed some minor errors, but not being native english
speaker, can't do better :-(
I don't think it's the place to state that The community is
large and include many Novell employees, may be enhance the
relevant page
