No. The point is that Novell has a contract with Adobe and the other vendors of proprietary sw we ship. These contracts allow us to shop openSUSE with this software but don't allow that the user distribute this software to others (friends, neighbors etc.). All of the proprietary software vendors won't go after you if you redistribute this as they want distribution of their software but they don't allow officially redistribution of their sw.
Thanks for the clarification. I forgot this, sorry. However, I still vote to have them on the DVD and without many complications for the final user. In other words, let things as they have been for years, without changing again the media organisation, because there's really no point in doing that at each release, if not generating confusion in the users. It looks to me like changing things just to change, and it's not a real evolution. To answer to Martin, limitation to freedom or not (I'm not a purist, you know ;-)), from a practical point of view the presence/absence of this software in an "out of the box" installation is a key added value for new/not expert users and it can make a difference when they decide what distribution to use.
