Ciao, Marco F.
OK, wait just a minute there, Marco.
This developer is a F/OSS guru and has contributed tons to the Linux community. Your escalating this to the brass at Novell can easily cause a pretty minor issue to get blown way out of proportion. So for all of his hard work you might very well cause him serious trouble. Is that how you reward a guy who has done so much for Linux and Open Source?
This is stupid. He used a bad word. Who cares? Get over it! Don't go out of your way to make the guy's life Hell. I for one hope that the folks at Novell will see that this is really a non-issue.
