*WHOSE* hard work ????

Most of the SuSE stuff is free software. It's not all SuSE's work, its
not all Red Hat's work. It is intended to be out there, free for all.
SuSE ship a few proprietary bits as well which may have other licenses.

Its about the value of the service and support. Why did they specify
SuSE ? It wasn't because someone could put it up for free download,
or they would just have grabbed debian from ftp, or a $150 CD set
with free cookie recipes
