IIRC, SuSe has been tied to a commercial entity somehow.  For some reason,
I was thinking RedHat but maybe not?

Wikipedia says SuSe is a fork of RedHat and was acquired by Novell, and the
FOSS version became OpenSUSE.  Novell has since been acquired by
Attachmate (whose products I am familiar with), and Attachmate was later
merged with Micro Focus (whose products I am also familiar with).

Sounds like, commercially, SuSe is still around, and may be popular with
folks who bought it from Novell or successors.
