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? There's no payment to Adobe involved for this agreement but redistribution requires an agreement. As Adobe is interested in redistribution of their software they offer a standard contract to anyone: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/acrrdistribute.html
