Yonny, the OpenSuSE 10.0 (comunity version) download contains open source (GPL/LGPL/Apache/etc) components only, so it should be compatible with the law "decreto 3390" that rules adoption of free software for government organizations in Venezuela. As a product, it does contains logos and trademarks owned by Novell, so some restrictions apply to redistribution of the software. You can redistribute it, as long as you respect the copyrights and trademarks, and don't charge costs for the software, as far as I know.
