Hi Houghi, You just love parsing words, don't you! ;-) [a great talent to have when you're in creative mode, btw.] Well, since you've asked: "openSUSE" strikes me as a pretty decent 'brand' name in it's own right. It's a great context-neutral 'wrapper' or 'umbrella' for the entire realm. It certainly 'rolls off the tongue' easily and is a nice fit for both contexts, community *and* 'product'. There is also a strong complementary 'brand recognition' factor, as well, since "open" is now ubiquitous, hence familiar and understood. Prepending it to the original 'SUSE' brand name, I think, makes the 'product' sound more accessible, or 'friendly.' Maybe less daunting, too? In short, I think people are gravitating towards using openSUSE as a 'catch-all' or 'ad hoc' label because it really is a natural fit for both purposes.
