Ports on Macbook

Oh, that didn't go to the list, did it.
I should actually read where I send stuff to, well, anyway.

Suse was bought by Novell a while back as you probably know, but as  
far as I know the Suse team still is located in Nuernberg over here in  
Germany.
They're programmers/geeks whichever you prefer to call it, not lawyers.
So chances are they didn't know about this either when they started  
out, but considering that Yast was closed source for a while they  
probably found out soon.
