suse 9.0 download?

Hello, I am interested in trying out suse 9.0 (AMD64), and have been waiting for it to appear on the ftp.suse.com FTP site. The package seems to be available for retail now, but it is still not on the FTP site. Is it going to be made available? Doesn't the linux license require the product to be made available for free if desired? Please advise. Thanks.
