Hi all,
When will be SuSE 9.3 be out for public? any rough idea?
& what license does suse products follow? Is it legal to re-distribute copies of SuSE?
thnx.
My UK shipper says the end of the month, so hopefully we shall be seeing stuff on the list in a couple of weeks. Perfectly legal, you can buy one copy and deploy it, copy it, give it away, but not sell it.
& Sid, what about the updates. Will i be able to get them? Ofcourse, nothing stops me from downloading the new rpm's & installing them... but the official updates?
Can you point me to the SuSE license (any URL), i want to show this same thing (copy & distribute BUT not sell) to some other peple.
Thnx.
If you install SuSE, even via ftp, you can still update via YaST. On the CD's/DVD's there are two files COPYING (the GPL) and COPYRIGHT. You can repackage and sell for the cost of the media, additional software and time put in, see cheeplinux, though it looks like they've discontinued their SuSE CD's, they all sell for a fraction of the cost from the distro makers. The shareware on SuSE usually requires registration, the same packages can be downloaded from ftp sites. Regards Sid. I forgot to mention www.cheapbytes.com, the 9.2 Pro seems to be SuSE's at 85 dollars, but they sell the Live and ftp versions at $8.99. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...
