[ILUG] SuSE redistribution

[Rick Moen]

Quoting Niall O Broin (niall at linux.ie):

> arrangements with the vendors as the license agreement when you install 
> SuSE 9.3 from purchased media says, and I quote:

Yes, well, _do_ they have such "arrangements"?  

If you claim that they do, please cite the licence statements shown
and/or included in the applicable READMEs when you install the following
packages in SUSE Linux 9.3 Professional Edition:

RealPlayer
Moneyplex
Opera Web Browser
Adobe Acrobat Reader

...or confirm for me that all of those packages are now gone from
Professional Edition.  Thanks.


I don't know why people keep implicitly assuming that Novell / SUSE has
the legal right to issue licensing statements on behalf of the owners of
constituent packages, when that assumption has repeatedly proved false
for prior releases, upon examination.
