http://en.opensuse.org/Legal tells me that there is no Redistribution program yet. :-/ I asume you are talking about that now. Also there are things like OpenOffice.org (Novell Edition) that are on the OSS CD's and also other things that are customized. Are these affected as well? If yes, this would make them non-OSS. I hope they are still under GNU, meaning they are not affected. makeSUSEdvd now has a $MEDIA/info.txt that contains some sort of disclaimer and pops up with the 'Licence Agreement'. This media is not produced by Novell or SUSE. It is compiled with makeSUSEdvd available on http://en.opensuse.org/Making_a_DVD_from_CDs If you are not 100% sure of the origin of this medium, please go to http://openSUSE.org and download from there or buy the boxed set. If you want official support from Novell or SUSE, please use the official ISOs provided by them. If you trust the source where you got this DVD and are not botherd to get official support, then please have fun using this product and SUSE later. Unofficial support can be found via http://en.opensuse.org/Communicate -- houghi http://houghi.org http://www.plainfaqs.org/linux/ http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html > > Today I went outside.
