not at all. SuSE Phils. in fact has given out hundreds of burned copies of its distro
in most of its community events in Bicol, Baguio, Cebu and Bacolod. was kind of
surprise to know that at least 17 colleges/universities in Mindanao deployed SuSE
server farms on their network infrastructures courtesy of our service bureau
Dctech...(thanks charles!)..we intend to give out more in the coming months and
encourage reproduction of our distro for the academic community which we're very close
at heart...globally, SuSE has given away free software to public schools in the US,
UK, Germany, Israel, Italy, Mexico, Chile and lately the Philippines.
it is ok to burn our single cd-eval version as it is pure gpl. what is not ethical to
reproduced is our boxed suite simply bec. some third party apps bundled with it are
not GPL....
if you happen to burn one pls make sure that it is done properly (media is ok,
readable and bootable).its annoying to hear of copies that wont boot or yet have cd
unreadable probs.
cheers,
ROJ
