I agree with Rick, perhaps what your friend's instructor meant was the SuSE evaluation CDs that can be distributed freely or the FTP version of other releases which btw does not offer as much applications as there are in the boxed versions.
SuSE's approach (I think this was already discussed before in the list) consists of mixing Free Software components with proprietary, closed source software to create a "hybrid" Linux distribution. This results in a product that contains mostly Free Software, but because of the mix, the final product is released with a proprietary-spirit license. > Federico A.

But, by all means, do what you think is right. _____________________________________________________________ Get 25MB, POP3, Spam Filtering with LYCOS MAIL PLUS for $19.95/year. http://login.mail.lycos.com/brandPage.shtml?pageId=plus&ref=lmtplus _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
