Hello, we at uniteddiversity have started a new venture called OPN
Technologies. We want to supply refurbished recycled computers to the social
economy, pre-installed with SuSE Linux and lots of other good OS software
(e.g. OpenOffice, Ximian Evolution etc).

We have purchased SuSE 8 Professional, but I understand that not all of it
is fully open source.

To clarify the situation can someone please tell me what the legal rules
concerning the pre-installation of SuSE on old machines to re-sell are, and
how we would go about it without breaking any licences/laws?

Thanks very much,

Josef Davies-Coates

Just to confirm what Waldo has said: we will continue to release "the
box" - i.e. SuSE Linux Personal and Professional - on an approximately
six-monthly release cycle, while SLES will be "powered by UnitedLinux"
with a longer release cycle.  This is what has already been happening -
SLES7 is the current SLES: SLES 8 will appear soon and will be based on
UL.  UL itself is a core LSB-compliant distribution on top of which the UL
members will build their enterprise versions.
