Wow, that's pretty rich from a company that has made good money from vendor lock-in. I'm still bitter when they drastically increased our SLES-prices for academic institutions, that was probably around 2010/11, and I've never touched SUSE since. That they now fork RHEL is pretty funny, since I vividly remember talking to a SUSE sales rep at that time, and I said we would now switch away from SLES to Scientific Linux, and he called it a "parasite project". Of course, you are allowed to make money off FLOSS software, but please, get off your high horse when others do the same.
