I really didn't understand this sentence and its hidden (may be) meaning.
Opensuses' 'agreement' with Microsoft
http://www.suse.com/company/press/2011/7/microsoft-and-suse-renew-successful-interoperability-agreement.html
necessarily imposes limitations (theoretical if not actual) on its development
('intellectual property concerns')
Oh I see, this is really amazing. So should I not use openSUSE because
of this deal? Thanks.
It's up to you to draw your conclusions.
Some people consider this "agreement" to be the "dawn of mankind", "SUSE
betraying/threatening the freedoms of Linux" and "SUSE having contracted
with the devils of the 'evil empire'".
To other people (apparently SUSE itself) it's a "valuable feature" and
valuable advantage SUSE Linux has over its competitors.
To most end-users, this contract is not of much practical importance,
but is more a political thing.
