By reading the package documentation once more, I have noticed that it would 
still be possible for
Novell (and by implication probalby its successor) to include these fonts 
within its distribution.

The English translation of item 3 of the copyright notice

    3.Making use of founder fonts in any form in any non-commercial or 
commercial;

is wrong.

The original says

    3．将方正字库以任何形式用于除Novell系列产品外任何商业的或非商业的软件或产品；

which means

    3. Making use of founder fonts in any commercial or non-commercial product
       except for the Novell system products.

Thus I think it would be appropriate for Opensuse to include these packages in 
the non-oss
repository once more.
