Re: Yast going GPL

[Warren Stuart]

Under the old YaST license you were free to reproduce and redistribute 
YaST (SuSE Linux) as much as you wanted but it is illegal to charge for 
it without the prior written consent of SuSE

It will soon be released under GPL

In a "technical" sense, yes, it is -- unless its a LiveEval! version.

However, if the owner of the disk installs it on your machine, it's
perfectly legal.


So how is that? I thought if there was only "open source" software on 
a distro/disk then I could make a copy of it legally. So am I wrong, 
or is there non-free software on Suse?
