Ok, so after everything that was previously said I thought I would check
again back in Open Suse land to see if the Novell software license had
been reviewed.
I have downloaded both flavours of 10.0 I still find that OpenSuse and
Suse Linux are copyrighted and distribution limited according the the
installation procedure.
In the real world these restrictions mean we will have to stop offering
Suse related services to non-profits who do not need original
manufacturer support. This is a shame as previously we have got the Suse
name into a number of organisations and from there out into wider use. I
suspect we will also have to migrate away from Suse generally to avoid
supporting too many platforms.
I point out that there are no distribution restrictions on Debian and
interestingly the Fedora FAQ says:
Q: Can I redistribute The Fedora Project?
A: Yes, and we strongly encourage you to do so. You will need to comply
with The Fedora Project trademark rules.
Goodbye Suse good luck for the future, and thanks for all the fish,
Berni
PS: For completeness you should also look at removing the standard GPL
license from the root directory of the GM CDs as this would appear to be
an error.
