I recognise the fact that it's free to install on as many machines as you want, and that Novell are happy with that,
They don't really have much choice. It's all down to the licensing of what goes into SUSE Linux.
but I'm not comfortable in using other peoples free efforts to make more money. I'd set an internal policy like "for every 10 machines we'll buy the official box", or if I was making loads of money then "for every 3rd machine we'll buy the official box".
I look after (amongst my linux community) a multi-site company with all except for two sites having between one and three workstations. They have been setup as a ISDN multi-star-ring network of five major hubs. The policy (after some serious discussion when I first set them up) is that they have one pack per server, one pack per five workstations for the two main sites and one pack per site for the smaller sites. They loved the idea as some of the sites are only "personed" for a few hours, once a week and the M$ costs at time of conversion was close to causing them to go bankrupt. sorry for the waffle scsijon
