Mozilla and Netscape have plugins for acroread, realplayer and flash. I
downloaded and installed them, without any warning or notice about their
being non-redistributable.

If, indeed, the rpms that you mentioned are non-redistributable, then,
SUSE Linux 9.1 should discourage users from installing these and propose
alternative open-source ones.

Subject: [plug] Is the SUSE Linux 9.1 Personal ISO really
redistributable?

Guys,

The SUSE Linux 9.1 Personal ISO contains
non-redistributable components, e.g. acroread,
flash-player, and RealPlayer.

What legal implications are there if we redistribute
SUSE Linux 9.1 Personal?  Though SUSE Linux 9.1 is
under the GPL, the aforementioned RPMs/programs are
not.

Comments please... :-)
