I understand from threads:
http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-linux-e/2005-Apr/1292.html
http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-linux-e/2005-Apr/1495.html

that there should be no prob in distributing the CDs as long as "money don't 
change hands". An interpretation can include the media costs. However, one 
can always state that the client brings the media :) (imho)
