This thread is IMO about being allowed to redistribute the media (complete DVD with all software), not about EULA of single applications you have to agree when installing/using (like [until recently] when starting Mozilla Firefox).
OK. So there is a contraddiction. I assume the goal of having an easy redistributable DVD is to make it easy to spread openSUSE. I don't buy the story of mirrors having problems, because they mirror exactly the same distributions that offer practically everything restricted.
So we want the media easier to be redistributed (as if now someone doesn't do that already...they even sell it online) on one hand to reach more people, but on the other hand we increase the difficulty for newcomers to have what in previous releases was there.
I have to confess I don't understand legalesse, specially EULAs. So I also have to confess that, although I started to read the Novell EULA on every install, I did not finish: too complicated for me. I'm even tried again, as I write this; there is a '/mnt/dvd/EULA.txt' here. Bufff! In this case, I don't understand why I can download openSUSE and burn it, several copies, I assume, but I can not make a copy of the burned DVD for friends. Is it what it means non redistributable? I must be real thick :-) - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
