Re: PostgreSQL missing in SuSE 10?

I know this is a bit off-topic, but this is part of the problem I'm
encountering. I can't find a definitive document on SuSe licensing and what
is 'eval' and what I have to pay for... can I still download the full
version for free? or is that just the eval? It's kind of confusing. Does
anyone have information/a link to documentation that clarifies that stuff?
