No, it does not control how to use the distribution but the trademark.
I can download openSUSE Leap 15.4, install it into my new nuke and control it. Maybe I cannot say "Nuke powered by *openSUSE* Leap 15.4", as I would be using the trademark. But I definitively can run the software at my will.
Sure you *can* technically do this but given its currently against our elua if someone within the project found out you were doing this they would be obliged to contact Legal who would be obliged to take out a court order to prevent you from continuing to do such.
The quoted section of the agreement talks about distribution and trademark use, not use of the software. There's nothing in that quoted section (nor that I can find in the trademark guidelines section that's linked) that places any sort of restrictions on how the *software* is used - just the openSUSE trademarks. -- Jim Henderson Please keep on-topic replies on the list so everyone benefits
