You may make and distribute outside Your Organization an unlimited number of copies of the Software.
"You may modify the Software, and distribute outside Your Organization an unlimited number of copies of the modified Software, provided that: a) You remove all Novell trademarks and logos from the Software and do not use any Novell trademarks or logos in distributing the modified Software (Novell trademarks and logos include, but are not limited to, “Novell,†“SUSE,†and the SUSE gecko drawing.);
OR,"
Basically is the same answer, _you need to remove all Novell trademarks_
Is this really the same? Or does one have to remove that stuff only when he does _modify_ the software? I am not a lawyer but I guess that if I have to remove it even when I don't modify anything then every mirror admin is performing illegal action.
Actually, we are modifying the distro, but not the openoffice package itself. So, I understand we should remove logos from the installation process, but, should be remove it from OpenOffice? If so, what about SuSEWatcher and YaST? thanks, jordi --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

From everywhere, Yast, susewatcher, openoffice, wallpapers, etc etc. Is a trademark Novell is allowing to use his trademarks property only with suse linux with out modifications. If you are doing modifications or want to distribute another piece of software, then you need to _ask permission to Novell_ because the distribution of software separately from suse is not cover but this licence. -- Marcel Mourguiart
