This is a restatement of their original position and the only thing it reveals is that they felt a need to to respond to the community reaction.

I don't use SuSE so in that aspect, I am mostly unaffected.

I am bothered by by the agreement but I am of cynical nature so I fail
to see the positive aspects of this for Linux and can only conclude that
this was corporate motivated greed to advance their market share and
cash resources without any benefit to the open source community itself.
Thus in the end, while SuSE has never made it on to any of the systems
that I employ, the agreement ensures that it will never happen.
