You wrote: > Have a Question: > Let's say that A gives B free of charge a copy of his SuSE Linux CD's on > CDR's. > > Would this infringe on any of the YaST Licence Terms? 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.
