Which is fair. Fedora never called itself red hat. CentOS never called itself red hat.

Suse is a pretty good company and deserves the right to their intellectual property and trademarks. OpenSuse shouldn't make a big deal out of simply changing their name.

They could rename themselves to OpenSusame and keep rolling without any issues whatsoever.

Of course, but I still think it is not very smart from SUSE, since I bet many companies got into SUSE because coworkers had very good experiences with OpenSUSE.

I, at least, if my company would need corporate Linux, would recommend SUSE to my company because of that reason.
