I recently downloaded SUSE 10.1 and installed it on a couple of
computers. It's licensed under GPL. Anyone can legally do the same as
there is no license to buy. The packages you buy from SUSE include real
disks & books and some amount of support. Any of those free download
distros are the same. They are GPL and include the license.
