Sure, but read deeper - they sell service, again, service - not
software. Want the service - buy it. You want only the software - its
GPL.

The same is with RH.
But when you buy box with RH AS or SLES you automatically buy service, and according to Service
Agrement you must buy the same service for all Installed Servers.
Funny, isn't it? :-)
Well, Suse sell so called pilot SLES8 with 3 months service.
But they (Suse) doesn't provide sources of updates for free
(certanly, they dont have to do this).

BTW, I talked directly with a SuSE distributor regarding their SLES
product, same concept as AS, and he confirmed my ideas. You pay for

the

services, you are allowed to do with the software whatever you want.

Sorry, you are wrong :-(
They also force you to buy "service" on per server basis.
And they don't published their service agreement at www :-/ ,
but there is some info

I'll quote it for you ;-)

 Customers who purchase the full version (e.g. SuSE Linux Enterprise
Server) receive the installation kit and the SuSE Linux Maintenance
Program.
[skip]
 Additional servers can be installed at any time and must also be
registered. For this purpose, the customer must obtain an additional
license key, the registration code. This license key is delivered in

an

envelope and registered in the Web in the same way as the first

server.

 SuSE Linux AG also offers these Maintenance licenses in units of 1,

5,

10, and 25 servers. These licenses can be combined randomly, enabling
the registration of any number of servers in the SuSE Linux

Maintenance

Program.

Maintenace is licensed per year/server.
No difference with RH.
