    The past doesn’t necessarily dictate the future. If the people in charge of SUSE’s direction going forward think way differently than the one’s back in regards to your comment, then the outcome can be different / better for the Linux community, can’t it?

      You’re both correct, there is no guarantee that the new owner will necessarily be bad… But I hold distrust against such moves.

      We’ll wait and see, I guess.

      For sure, I’m just giving it as a counter to most people in the thread thinking privately owned must be better than publicly.
