This kind of question comes up every so often. Each RPM that SUSE provides is covered by some sort of license. Many of them are licensed under the GPL, Apache license, etc. Those types of license permit free/unfettered redistribution. Anything that is not covered by a license that permits free redistribution could get you into trouble. RPM even has a field in its database for the license type (do an "rpm -qi httpd" and see). Checking each package to see what type of license it has, segregating them from each other, etc., would most likely be more trouble than it is worth.

I've set up a YOU server to synchronize itself on a daily basis with SuSE. All of the rest of my Linux instances do their "Online Updates" against my YOU server instead of going over the wire to SuSE. If someone from outside of UConn were to pull updates off of my YOU server, would this be a contractual no-no??? If so, how are others doing this? I guess checking the "SLP Registration Enabled" box would be bad form in this scenario too?
