Dear Mr. Guerra Lara ,

Many thanks for your inquiry to our SuSE PreSales Service and your
interest in SuSE Linux. You wrote:

Most applications that come with the SuSE Linux distribution are licensed
with GPL or LGPL, some have their own licenses.

Each of these licenses applies to the single package and allows you to
make as many copies of the software as you want and give them to whoever
you want, provided you do not _sell_ the software. You may sell support  
for the software, but not the software itself. Also, you have to make the
source code available for free.

SuSE Linux as a Linux distribution is a work with its own rights. Our
license can be found on CD1 as /COPYRIGHT.yast. This license too allows
you to make as many copies and installations as you want from one set of
discs, provided you do not charge for it or get any kind of refund. This
implies that it is _not_ allowed to install SuSE Linux on machines that you
will sell except that you will give the customer a full license (boxed CD 
set and books) with the machine.

Kind regards

     SuSE PreSales
     Detlef Wiese
