We should probably have some resources on the wiki for redstributing SUSE and derivatives, as people get confused, and understandably so, with copyright, licensing and trademarks. You shouldn't have to get a lawyer to base something on SUSE. For example if I wanted to create EduSUSE (like Edubuntu is to Ubuntu), and basically have my own selection of packages and change some default themes, it would be great if a wiki page said: 1. If your proposed name has the word SUSE in it, so you will need permission from [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2. it is Ok to bla bla when you do bla bla.... For example does the SUPER project fall under what is acceptable or would somebody need implicit permission to duplicate that project but with a different focus, it doesn't remove any trademarks, and technically doesn't call itself a distro but is a repackaging of SUSE - why is it not a new distro? Does it matter legally? Peter 'Pflodo' Flodin.
