1st: SUSE is OpenSource!

2nd: You can make as many copies you want (read the license)

3rd: If you buy one package you can use it for your complete IT (even if 
you have a 80,000-client-lan (I've called SUSE to make that sure)

4th: SUSE doesn't earn it's income with the distros but with service!

The distros are only to get the market against Windoze.
