I think they added the "Open" part because at the time FOSS was gaining momentum in the press, and it seemed like a good idea.
Been using S.U.S.E since version 6.2. I found the box one day at CompUSA, and noticed it listed Amateur Radio software as being included. Dropped HeadRat Linux like a hot rock, and stayed with Suse. The reason I was distro shopping was that this was about the time HeadRat deliberately released a version with known broken libs. Made it a huge PITA to try and compile something when half the libs were borked.
