Pretty much anything that isn't GPL. Novell openoffice has a plethora
of licensed fonts, banshee has a few licensed codecs, Realplayer, and
I'm sure there are others...this isn't a definitive list. I'll share a
definitive list if and when one is made available.

The "support" is the biggest difference. SLED is built to be an
enterprise desktop. openSUSE is built to be a testing ground.
