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 :-)

Your use case is what is meant with *re*distributable. There are a few (maybe
3 to 5 of several thousand) packages on DVD like Adobe stuff and MP3 decoder
that are not allowed to be redistributed and hence strictly adhered do not
allow *you, mirrors or merchants* to make copies of the DVD.
