I purchase one copy of SUSE 9.0 Pro for the customer online, shipped to my business address. I install it at my customer's site for 2 servers and 10 workstations (I'm really good and use AutoYast, etc). My customers are almost as bright as me and take to SUSE very well. I leave the one package of SUSE 9.0 Pro with the customer.
Is this violating any license?
I don't see how it could. You basically bought a copy of SUSE and recouped your money from them. You didn't charge them more then you paid. You were basically a deliveryman in this instance. As far as charging them to install software and train said people on the software..that's your time and your knowledge they were paying for. I'm sure SUSE's Professional services would love to have done it. But remember quite clearly when I worked for SUSE in Oakland that the Prof. Services Manager called a $2000 sendmail server install an config a "waste of time" and "small potatos". So in this instance what really got paid for was you. So they have nothing to say about it. -- Ben Rosenberg ---===--- #147972 ---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org -- Why do we bother with a suicide watch when someone is on deathrow?
