New Double Eh?
Ummm . . . I have a hard time reading it that way. Paragraph #1 doesn't refer to Linux or any other SUSE product at all, just incorporating code into a product, any product.

Elsewhere it says "some components" of the SUSE distribution are v3. Doesn't mean the kernel or whetever - a "distribution" includes all kinds of stuff (hell, Debian is up to 21 CDs now).

Redistribute that and you're distributing v3 code.

New Re: Double Eh?
Here's the bit I'm querying:

"If your product incorporates any code licensed under GPL v3 your product has to be licensed under [GPL] v3"

Now, if your product is "SuSE Linux 10.0" or whatever, that statement is clearly not true, as the product in question is comprised of a number of components which have various licences, including GPL v2, GPL v3, X11, Artistic, MPL, SPL, Apache and BSD licences - and probably more.

Just because GNU textutils or whatever has been relicenced under GPL v3 has no bearing whatsoever on the licencing of, say, X11.
