And that's why you always disliked SuSE, because they were trying to
make money from it???
Volker,
I never disliked it.
I didn't know enough about it to know whether I liked it or not.

The problem was with the licensing they used for YAST.
Or, I suppose, what I understood about the licence for YAST.

There may have been no problem with copying it etc but the fact that it wasn't GPL was a problem for me.

And, incidentally I would be more likely to spend money on it now than before.
