Last I checked (SuSE 6.3?), the YaST license allowed for modifications
to be made to the code, but not their redistribution. I talked to the
guy from SuSE at the last CTS show about this, and he explained that
YaST was one of their ways of differentiating their distro. And that
Open Source was nice and all, but business was business (that's a
paraphrase, folks, not a direct quote).
