Yes, as long as you don't sell your brother/friend a copy for $40. ;)
But you CAN charge for the copying and the CD media
Maybe, but not if the YaST license is to be taken at face value <quote> It is forbidden to reproduce or distribute data carriers which have been reproduced without authorisation for payment without the prior written consent of SuSE Linux AG or SuSE Linux. </quote> Note that it says "for payment", and I can't find an exception for cost of work or price of media or even price of shipping. Of course, this may be "implicitly allowed", but I think the idea is to prevent people selling CDs on eBay for $1 per CD. //Anders
