From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I support suse in this regard.
2 things to the bottles devs:
Focus on improving your software, not who is redistributing it.
If packaging it is "so difficult," maybe you could be doing a better job to make it easier? Just an idea!
In all honesty, the bottles team doesn't want people to repackage their software because their donation buttons might get removed. Greedy little fellas!
