Seeing this title, many insiders will think of opensolaris, which is good. After Sun was acquired by Oracle, Oracle advocates continuing to support open source, but the result is that opensolaris is "closed, it is not surprising that this practice occurs in Oracle!
So what is the fate of opensuse? Let's take a look at the SuSE transaction records:
In 2014, micro focus acquired the attachmate group, The SuSE parent company ).
In 2010, attachmate acquired Novell, which also sold some intellectual property rights to Microsoft.
Novell acquired the German SuSE Linux AG company in 2004. Novell changed the free SuSE Linux to the opensuse community project in 2006;
SuSE Linux was one of the oldest commercial versions in 1992 and originated in Germany and maintained by SuSE Linux AG.
In general, the development process of SuSE is still very popular with open source people. We will wait and see how to develop SuSE in the future. Here, let's take a look at SuSE's official statement:
SuSE officially believes that this acquisition by micro focus will inject more powerful development impetus to Suse and open-source businesses.
SuSE officially released an email stating that as the development of Suse, open source will continue to contribute to open source and promote the development of open source. SuSE will continue to fully invest in opensuse support, opensuse remains highly independent.
