In that message you complained about a SuSE modified version, but as far as I can tell you did not bring up any other arguments, except to point at bug in the SuSE version. A version that very clearly stated that it is a modified version and that you should not be contacted about bugs in that version. So what are you complaining about? The GPL says: If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations. So I belive that you are complaining about something where you have not reason to complain, since SuSE are definitely telling the users that they are using a modified version. And this really does not belong on linux-kernel so can we please stop this silly argument. Keep technical issues on linux kernel and for the rest, please go away. (And yes, by posting this message I'm just as guilty of bringing off topic stuff to l-k. I'm sorry about that). /Christer -- "Just how much can I get away with and still go to heaven?"
