The boxed version comes without sources, so 3a doesn't doesn't apply and 3b must be followed.
Right. 3b we do.
Is "accompany by" really so difficult to comprehend? If I have only the dvd, it is _not_ accompanied by any offer, if the offer is somewhere on the net.
But the written offer is nowhere in the box, just a pointer to it on the web (and this pointer is in places where people normally don't look (bottom of the box, somewhere on some CD)).
An 'offer' and a 'pointer to an offer' do not make much difference to me.
Please ask a lawyer. Or even easier, ask the FSF.
And space on the box is scarce. We cannot put everything up front.

Your '_must_' appears to be your personal opinion, I guess.
No, I actually asked the FSF (but didn't mention names). Really, is it so difficult for you to put the information from http://www.novell.com/products/suselinux/source_code.html in /README and in the manual? That's all I'm asking. Best Martin
