As far as I know, everything ever produced is copyrighted, whether it says so
or not. Unless it explicitly relinquishes copyright (public domain) it will
always be copyrighted. You know that the GPL is a copyright based license,
right?
GPL does not limit distribution but positively encourages it. It seems
Suse and Open suse are copyright Novell so technically everthing is
claimed by Novell.
and distribution limited according the the
installation procedure.
Doesn't it say something like "not all software included can be distributed
freely"? Things like software not produced under the GPL or by Novell?
No it does not. The Novell license says we can not distribute Suse to
our customers. Non profits are cost controlled so for that group I have
no option but to go elsewhere.
