Hi,
I know that Suse is hardening it's license, but I wonder to what it applies to - to whole distro or just non-free SW components or packages.
It cannot apply to the whole distro, since that would violate the GPL. The SuSE license used to apply to YaST, but I'm not sure whether that's true any more - I thought I heard something about YaST being GPL-ed? I don't know which bits it applies to now.
I'm trying to make embedded barebone SuSE distro (kernel+Rescue image+ few apps), but I'm not sure if I can sell it bundled with HW without financial obligations to SuSE ?
Whichever bit of the distro it applies to, you cannot "sell [that bit] bundled". You can, however, give it away for free. Of course, IANAL, and ICBW. -- David Smith Work Email: Dave.Smith@st.com STMicroelectronics Home Email: David.Smith@ds-electronics.co.uk Bristol, England GPG Key: 0xF13192F2
