Hello,
| After all, you need a contract to be able to download the images and
the
| udates. You might breach the terms of that contract....
Nobody's said that the contractor and the builder of such re-branded
SLES must be one and the same institution...and sharing GPL/2/3 code
AFAIK is not forbidden.
Well you *can* download SLE[SD] Priducts without any contract. You only
got to register at Novell to get an account, but there are no contracts,
payments whatsoever involved. You even can use SLES for free. (For it is
all GPL.)
You need a contract to get updates. If you don't have one you only get
updates in the first 30 days. A Novell Contract comes at $290 for a
year, $725 for three years. I know that having one subsicription you can
update as many systems as you like. (There even is some product of
Novell (ZEN-Works) to distribute patches and so on in your network.) I
don't know if it would be possible to get a contract, get the updates
and share them to the public. (I mean legaly; of coure it is possible to
do such a thing...) Theoretical, those updates should be GPL, too.
till then,
Ortwin
