RALEIGH – One of the companies fighting with Red Hat over changes affecting Red Hat Enterprise Linux, is going private.

SUSE is seeking to delist from the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, reports ITPro.com.

Such a move “will allow SUSE to focus fully on its operational priorities and execution of its long-term strategy,” SUSE says, according to the report.

“The company has also waded into the Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) furor, first with plans to invest over $10 million into a fork of RHEL and, most recently, by forming the Open Enterprise Linux Association (OpenELA) with Oracle and CIQ,” ITPro adds.

RHEL is Red Hat’s top product.
