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.
Sorry, I still don't understand. I know I'm thick, but clarifying this will benefit many out there, I hope :-) You mean that, if Adobe stuff is included in the DVD I can not make several copies from the ISO image and give it to friends? That I have to download it as many times as copies I make? Or that each person has to download his copy? Or that I can not make copies of the already burned DVD that somebody else gave me? Or simply that I can not charge for it? You could consider re-writing the EULA with a FAQ so that people understand it. I don't. Not you personally, I mean, but the lawyers at your company. (I remember the original Borland license in the eighties... it was really easy to understand what we could or could not do.). - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
