Straight from the horses mouth (or A Roger Whittaker from SuSE)
If we're talking about SuSE Personal or Professional, you are free to copy and share the CDs, provided that you don't charge for them - this is covered by the yast licence: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/8.2/COPYRIGHT.yast
This does not apply to the SuSE Linux Office Desktop because it includes licenced proprietary software - specifically Crossover Office and Acronis, which are licenced by their owners on a single user basis.
Our "subscription service" for LUGs has rather faded away as the number of LUGs has risen. We used to send all LUGs on our list a full boxed copy, but we can't afford this any more. What can do though is to send just the disk set to as many LUGs as possible - if you send me a postal address I'll send an 8.2 disk set today
I have asked him to send me the 8.2 media, who should be the trustee for the media within ALUG ? one of the librarians perhaps ?
I must say I was very impressed with the response speed to my query (less than 8 hours). Well done SuSE

Martyn was the old contact, I did consider picking it up again but decided that I don't want to be involved in or be seen to be advocating the distribution of non-free software.
I'm still in contact of sorts - so far reporting naughty people for selling SuSE Professional CD-Rs on Ebay :)
