Well not really....  If i have certain proprietary software in my distro
that i decide to not license under GPL or BSD, i could certainly use a
license that restricts you from redistributing it.

For instance, YaST in Suse is proprietary and not licensed under GPL.  So 
with all this talk about copying Suse 9 cd's, i'm not sure if that's 
entirely legal.  Anyone else know?
