Can one of you SuSE fans tell me if I have this right:
SuSE has a "non-free" license in that I can't download ISO images of the
full version from the 'net. If I want to run the full version of SuSE I
have to buy it. I am breaking the license if I make a copy of someone
else's CD set. This is because SuSE has not open-licensed their YAST
setup tool, so you can't redistribute anything that includes YAST
without breaking SuSE's licensing.
If the above is accurate, what about upgrades? Is there any way, say, a
7.1 user can upgrade his/her box to 7.2 without going out and buying a
whole new boxed set?
Note that I am in no way criticising - even Linux companies gotta make
money - but I would like to give SuSE a try and am wondering if there's
any way to get a real, full-blown installation on my box (not one of
those "run off the CD Live-eval" things) without going out and spending
the money and then deciding I still like Debian better. :)
