[ILUG] SuSE redistribution

They never have, which always surprised me a bit.  Even during the days
when YaST/YaST2 was under somewhat restrictive licensing, it wouldn't
have taken a lot of effort to bundle the redistributable parts of SUSE
Professional with substitute software, e.g., anaconda, but nobody
bothered.  I think the target audience have been mostly perfectly happy
with the shrink-wrapped offering.

> BTW, what do Suse do vis-a-vis mp3/dvd support in their pro edition?  

Good question.  I'll make a point of finding out.

Heh.  I've been expecting to see competitions to coin the least probable
and/or least melodic sounding prospects for further distribution
"marriages".  ;->
