Our “Built on openSUSE” Installer EULA

The following is a Trademarks search/replace of our upstream (openSUSE) GPLv2 license. And is the same as that displayed / agreed-to during our kiwi-ng created installer. See the following file in our rockstor-installer repository.

As indicated in openSUSE:Trademark guidelines we are required to make these changes. We are also required to use one of the given terms when referencing our upstream: we have chosen to use: Built on openSUSE & Uses openSUSE. Examples of this use during the installer can be seen in our Rockstor’s “Built on openSUSE” installer document section.

We thank openSUSE / SuSE and the wider open source community for such excellent resources as the Leap base OS we use, kiwk-ng , and the Open Build Service (OBS) .
