Yeah, they did. Probably because OpenSuSE is better known than SuSE at this point. Yet it’ll stay the base for SuSE. It makes some sense I guess - Fedora is the base for RedHat for example. It is a bit confusing and complicated for an open source project to share branding with a commercial project; probably quite restricting for OpenSuSE. But a rebrand is also messy itself.
It’s also weird, since OpenSUSE Leap uses the exact same binaries as SLES. Specifically to make it easier to start off with the open version and transition to paid SLES without reinstalling
