These are fairly good points void main, I guess I'm too much inclined to not see the dark side of people until I get a smack on the head
Oh well, I like the OS and while I understand your point of view I still see nothing wrong in the commercial attitude SuSE is adopting here.

Don't get me wrong. I have no gripe with SuSe. If people want to purchase their product that's great. It's much, much, much, much better than going out and buying a Microsoft OS. They still promote the use of Linux in general which is a good thing. And the yast license is a completely minor issue. The not having ISOs available is a personal issue and not a big one, just big enough to be one of the reasons I favor another distro.

Good points again

Damn right they are. You're downloading not-free-software as a free download. So either SuSe decided to pay lots of different companies cash per every download, or you're downloading an illegal download (warez).

Looks like www.linuxcd.org resides in France. I don't see how they would have it available for long if they don't have it available for legit. I would think if they changed their policy that www.linuxiso.org would also have it, maybe they will soon?

Are there any other non-free packages other than StarOffice? I haven't got to the point yet to see if that is included. They could include OpenOffice just as easily in a free ISO download. But I don't want to install it if I will be installing warez. I haven't been able to find anything to this point to prove one way or the other.
