If it's free WHY you going to make profit of it ? Sell by media cost .

Yeah , linux is free not only ISO..
So if you want make some money why don't you build distribution yourself ?
Download kernel, libs etc.. put it all together ? Otherwise you will you use
SuSE work to make profit .. Did you write yast ? no , did you spent hours to test
everything ? no so you very smart guy - some people make all the job for you,
told you that it's free - use it man -  and instead of saying thanks you going to
make money on SUSE WORK.. nice ( btw just out of curiosity  you're name not Bill
isn't it ?)

If you don't have good connection , i think right way to do it pay 25$ in best
buy and obtain  full version.Again  WHY people should pay YOU for job you never
did ???

I think here is more question of morality then of legal rights ..
Linux suppose to be free .. SUSE sell not only linux but very good build and
tested
set of packages etc. .. For what you'll going take money is very questionable ,
at least for my personal opinion.
