List, Appreciate some advice. I've been asked to install a copy of SuSE and provide the necessary set-up of networking, Samba etc. I'll be doing this work in a contracting basis and was looking at installing the software and providing him with a copy of SuSE on a set of blank CDs so he has the original installation set.
Question - can I burn a copy of the SuSE Linux Professional 8.2 CD set and give it to him, or will he need to purchase a copy of the software himself to be licenced? I will be paid to install and setup the box, but will make no money from the actual software itself. There appears to be no guidance on this matter on the distro box packaging.
Any help/guidance on this matter appreciated.
Cheers, Nick

http://www.suse.co.uk/uk/private/support/licenses/index.html is the only page I know on this, but that's aimed at home users. If that is the licence, then if you give him a copy, as long as it's a freebie, you should be OK.
This is not legal advice. If it breaks, you are responsible for the cat. Consult a lawyer for lefal advice ktp
Many thanks Mark.
