Berdasarkan artikel yg saya baca, menjual CD/DVD Suse adalah TIDAK legal. selengkapnya bisa dibaca di http://www.mandrake.tips.4.free.fr/reviewsuse92.html berikut ini adalah kutipannya:
Contrary to 'urban legend', it is actually allowed to make copies of SUSE Linux media and pass those around. With so many contradicting stories I found it best to contact the source, and this is what Novell Customer Support had to say, in a preformatted message (so the Q's aren't exactly the ones I posed) : ------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: Customer Response Center CRC_at_novell.com Subject: Re: SUSE 9.2 licence and copying question/issue Date: Wed, 08 Dec 2004 09:11:13 -0700 (17:11 CET) Hopefully the following Q&A answers your questions. Q. Am I allowed to install SuSE Linux from these CDs/DVDs on more than one computer? A. Yes. As long as you are getting no "reward" (particularly cash) from a third party when you install on your machine or a friends. Q. Am I allowed to install SuSE Linux from these CDs/DVDs on another computer than the initial one and then sell that computer? A. Yes. As long as you are getting no "reward" (particularly cash) from a third party when you install on your machine or a friends. Q. Am I allowed to make copies of the CDs/DVDs and distribute them among friends of mine for free? A. Yes. As long as you are getting no "reward" (particularly cash) from a third party when you install on your machine or a friends. Q. Am I allowed to make copies of the CDs/DVDs and distribute them among friends of mine for a fee i.e. the cost of the blank cds/DVDs? (I guess this one is a no)? A. Correct the answer is no to this one. If they buy you a donut, or wash your car for the burned copies of SUSE you are in breach of End User License Agreement (EULA). Thank You!
