^^^^^^^ This is what I want to know. Definitely, this is stupid situation- Suse's employeers don't know such thing :-(
This is not a stupid situation. You only ask the wrong people. You cannot expect from technical stuff to give you legal advice. You will not ask a motor mechanic to submit a case to a court for you, will you? This mailing list is the wrong medium for such questions.
OK. May be you are right. But here http://www.suse.com/us/private/support/mailinglists/index.html this is list is described as <quote> Discussions about SuSE Linux (english) </quote> I'm talking about Suse Linux, not about something else, imho. But I think that right place for _answer_ to my question is here: http://www.suse.com/us/business/products/sles/index.html But there is no answer :-( And here http://support.suse.de/psdb/ there is no terms of PSDB using. And even in SLES7 box (!) there is no license, no terms of maintenance web using! ( I just opened this box and looked into it). License on CDs (COPYING) is <quote> GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Version 2, June 1991 </quote> So I installed SLES7 from _one_ box to _4_ servers a year ago. If Suse had right to revoke my PSDB account, where is document? :-/ Now, when we need next year maintenance, or, may be new UL based distribution I need to know what to choose. As I pointed before there is such info on SCO site: http://www.sco.com/images/pdf/scolinux/SCO_Linux_FAQ.pdf <quote> SCO Linux 4 will be priced competitively on a per server basis. </quote> Guess why I don't ask SCO about licensing? ;-)
