Hmm... So, requiring a sandbox to run @usebottles is considered evil and proprietary software, but patching it to remove the donate button without updating support links is considered fine? Uh huh...

Edit: Please keep in mind that this was not a decision made by the entire openSUSE community. This is addressed to the people who authored and accepted the patch.

Update: The patch is no longer being applied.

Real talk, if you're patching software to make it "work" in your distro, I suppose that's fair, but removing the donate button is on a whole new low

@TheEvilSkeleton WTF.... I expected better from SUSE.

@me @TheEvilSkeleton just going to say that one individual does not represent the whole openSUSE community. key difference here is SUSE != openSUSE. :) I contribute as well as a packager and I don't actually like that donation links are removed just because.

@luana @uncomfyhalomacro @TheEvilSkeleton I always assumed (wrongly as it turns out 😅) that openSUSE was somewhat of a joint effort between the community and SUSE itself and changes would eventually trickle towards SUSE Linux Enterprise.

@uncomfyhalomacro @TheEvilSkeleton @me technically SUSE does grab stuff from openSUSE I think, but they’re legally separate institutions and have entirely separate boards and stuff

Unlike fedora, which is legally owned by red had and red hat has repeatedly refused purposes to make it a legally separate institution

@luana @uncomfyhalomacro @TheEvilSkeleton @me umm Redhat has no ownership stake of Fedora. That's why there's no legal filings, because they've always been seperate.
Redhat is just a sponsor like anyone else that donates resources to Fedora.

@10leej i remembered somewhere along those lines as well. I just am more involved in openSUSE to know that it is a separate entity to SUSE itself. I read **rumours** and proposals to rename openSUSE i.e. geekos or something to avoid such confusion to new members.
