I'd say that the media only includes GPL software now, and that Internet access is
needed to download packages from non Novell-supported sites to complete the
installation (media players, MP3, graphics drivers, modem drivers, printer
drivers, ISDN, webcams, tuners, etc.).
Maybe some would see that equivalent with "don't buy".
