No. The point is that Novell has a contract with Adobe and the other vendors of proprietary sw we ship. These contracts allow us to shop openSUSE with this software but don't allow that the user distribute this software to others (friends, neighbors etc.).
I am interested in knowing whether Novell pays Adobe as part of this agreement. Anyone at Novell allowed to say, or does the contract come with a gagging clause?
I will not comment on any such contracts since I cannot double check whether it comes with such a clause. Our goal is to have contracts which allow us redistribution but does not put any further obligations on either of us.
