Do you have the text? I don't have it available right now, so it's difficult
to comment, but I haven't heard anything about restricted distribution, other
than for the software not actually controlled by Novell, such as Real Player,
Acrobat Reader and other third party commercial software
I think it is info.txt on cd1/media.1. It is the Novell Software License
Agreement on both Suse and OpenSuse.
Here's the statement which everyone must agree to while installing:
"The Software is a collective work of Novell. You may make and use
unlimited copies of the Software for Your distribution and use within
Your Organization. You may make and distribute unlimited copies of
the Software outside Your organization provided that: 1) You receive
no consideration; and, 2) you do not bundle or combine the Software
with another offering (e.g., software, hardware, or service). The
term "Organization" means a legal entity, excluding subsidiaries and
affiliates with a separate existence for tax purposes or for legal
personality purposes. An example of an Organization in the private
sector would be a corporation, partnership, or trust, excluding any
subsidiaries or affiliates of the organization with a separate tax
identification number or company registration number. In the public
sector, an example of Organization would be a specific government
body or local government authority."
The main question for me as a service provider is to ask if I can
provide downloaded Suse to my customers as part of an installation or
support service?
I did have this permission from the previous Suse organisation which is
why I am here now!
