There may be a misunderstanding here:
1) If you want to be an official _reseller_ of SUSE Linux, we will be glad to accommodate you. You can buy
the official boxed product, and then resell it to customers.
2) If you make a copy of a boxed product, and then sell it, the copy an your transaction violate the license
under the Gnu Public License that is included with our software.
This is why copying & selling the CD's is illegal.
If there are people doing this in your area, please contact us so that we may prosecute and put a stop to
the illegal behavior.
