Oh, that didn't go to the list, did it.
I should actually read where I send stuff to, well, anyway.
Suse was bought by Novell a while back as you probably know, but as
far as I know the Suse team still is located in Nuernberg over here in
Germany.
They're programmers/geeks whichever you prefer to call it, not lawyers.
So chances are they didn't know about this either when they started
out, but considering that Yast was closed source for a while they
probably found out soon.

An EULA actually in nearly all European Countries and probably most

That's my point. An EULA is just, that. An EULA.
Even in the US it is not
quite clear if an EULA is a valid license agreement.
Can't comment on that.
Also EULAs and
many Licenses actually only apply to US Law, so basically they're not
worth anything anywhere else.
Yes. US law apply to us only.
You couldn't enforce a GPL in Germany or
some other european countries for example, because it is built atop
another legal system with different ideas of how things work.
Interesting! Suse comes to mind, but is suse linux still based in
germany?
Same
thing applies to EULAs. I read a very interesting article on German
iX
magazine recently wich was covering this. Don't have access to it
right now though cause I'm on a trip home, so I can't really say much
more about it, but if you want specific details I can post them in a
bout a week.
Take your time. This kind of discussion's come and go.

I'm sorry to disappoint you, Bernt, but under Swedish law any
kind of
agreement is legally binding. Even just a handshake.
Yes. But clicking yes or no is not a handshake or oral agreement
acording to Swedish law.
Again, back it up? You're just expecting us to believe your
interpretation of the law.
Who's interpretation are you in comfort with? Your own? Sombody
else, a
lawyer? A pornstar?
