The license does not give a right to copy SuSE CD's, even for private/non profit use, as far as I can understand, unless I get a written permission.
This is a wrong interpretation of the license. It does not allow copying for profit, and that's it. You are not allowed to sell copies, but giving them away is fine.
Note that SuSEconfig is pretty special to just SuSE, and as far as I can understand is part of yast. Check out the mails in the thread "What's keeps changing my inet.d sequence" in Suse security list for the confuscion SuSEconfig may give.
People just don't read documentation (actually, who RTFM?) and then get confused. man page of insserv(8) explains SuSE boot concept really well.
I've got similar problems now and then with SuSEconfig (SuSEfirewall2 really)(as well as other), enough to dump SuSE for my home e-mail server. My workstation is still SuSE, though.
Well, this is why there are so many Linux distros. You have a choice. I switched to SuSE 4 years ago and have nothing to complain about. Regards, -Kastus
