Can any provide insight into why that isn't already happening?
There are openSUSE AMIs listed here: http://en.opensuse.org/Derivatives

Cornelius,
There is a comment that states the older opensuse AMI images were being charged by AWS as if they need a SUSE Enterprise license.

Do you know if that has been resolved?

Answering my own question. My first "19 hours" of usage of the above VM instance on AWS has been billed. Since I just joined I am still in the first year where they give you two free "micro instances". The openSUSE instance was billed at $0.00, so it is not being treated as if a SLES license is required. fyi: The 2 free are in different areas of AWS and I'm not sure of how they are broken up. I can say the Linux instance created via the above link is not in the same area as the Windows Server 2008 with SQL I setup. I found the Windows server to need a $20/day environment to even try to be useful. (ie. The micro instance was useless, so I bumped to a "small" instance and it was merely almost useless.) The free openSUSE instance seems to be usable from what I have done so far. Mind you I'm only accessing via SSH and doing some zypper / yast activity so far. It is certainly not for a high i/o user, but even though I installed a bunch of packages via zypper, I only did 40,000 i/o's and you get 1M/month for free.
