Typical fud here. The only thing you're not allowed to do with the YaST 
sources is to resell it yourself. After we stopped shipping YaST1 in SuSE 8.0 
someone forked it.

SuSE do not have a per-seat license on YaST (or on UnitedLinux fwiw). Don't 
believe everything you read on /. or at least don't mindlessly repeat it.
