Umm, I can't speak to the specific license on SuSE, but I wouldn't be so
quick to assume it can be freely distributed. SuSE as a distro has much
more non-GPL software in it than others. Including their YaST and SaX
programs. The GPL and Open Source licensed software on SuSE _would_ be
freely distributable, I'm just not sure about the other.
