No, SuSE did not write the standard. Players from all the major Linux distributions and other major participants in the Linux world had representatives on the LSB committees. In fact, Caldera was one of the earliest and strongest supporters of LSB. Unfortunately, the pressure for standardization has entered a period of retrenchment while the tech sector recovers economically and Linux finds its long term personality in the tech market.
