The magic words in there were that the little company couldn't make copies and SELL them.. That wouldn't be allowed for any copies of SuSE, as the license for YAST disallows you to sell it for profit.
I am glad you managed to understand what was obviously meant by my statement ! Yes, that is the reason. And that stinks.

Actually, it doesn't :-) Like any other software house, they are allowed to choose by themselves what license applies to the software they write on their own. If YAST had been developed by the community, and was GPL, _then_ it would stink as a skunk :-) But if this little company has a valid reason for duplicating the CD's, I think SuSE might give them permission to. Read the license that comes with YAST ( to be found in the source package of YAST, f.ex. ) and then send SuSE an e-mail with your reasoning. They are reasonable folks, and are probably willing to help - if you have a good case :-) - -tosi - -- ______ /---------------------------------------\ \ | Þór Sigurðsson | Tor Sigurdsson | t | | Netmaður | Network Specialist | o | |-----------------------------------------| s | | tosi@rhi.hi.is | i | \---------------------------------------/_____/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.1e-SuSE (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE6fDU06mRH+PEpr2YRAtM4AKCgLqHkB5FU/neN4xwpg6biPFBEKgCdEovA SxThS9N/h3mh0L2CEqn2Ar0= =RrvQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
