How is it possible in this year 2005 for an installed piece of software in SuSE to be crippleware so that it is not able to play DVDs?

Search on the packman site (found using google) for libdvdcss and you will find instructions for installing it.
Not for the past few months.

Don't be fooled by the RPM linked from that page. It includes only the ".spec" file.
The link to the project's home page is still good: http://developers.videolan.org/libdvdcss/index.html.
And if you click on the link to the videoland site you will find the sources located here: http://download.videolan.org/pub/libdvdcss/1.2.9/ Please read the entire page on the videoland site. I think they also provide a script to download and compile libdvdcss2. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998
