The last SuSE license I read was for the retail copy of 10.1 and it said something to the effect that copies could be given away, but not sold (or given away as part of something else that is sold, such as a free OS on a retail computer). This may be where you got the idea that it was illegal to make money with SuSE.
//begin-rant Now, with regards to the usage of the word "illegal". Not to nit-pick anyone here, but the misuse of this word really bugs me. Illegal means against the law and it implies that cops are going to show up to arrest you. Contracts and license agreements are not law. If you break the license agreement, Novell might sue you or they might never sell you software again, but cops aren't going to show up at your door. Same goes for the "illegal" computers sold without a copy of Windows. That's a brilliant move on Microsoft's part. Not only convince the manufacturers to put Windows on every computer, but to also get the salespeople to convince everyone else that the computer with Linux on it is somehow breaking the law. That Linux users are criminals and will soon be arrested! //end-rant -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
