The above is just a statement of fact. It doesn't change the legal
status (well not much). What you need to know is what license SUSE has
granted. I would expect it to be either GPL or BSD but I don't really
know SUSE.
If it's BSD or anything more liberal it's fine. If it was GPL it
would be legally fine but it's against our policy because we want to
keep the whole package covered by BSD restrictions at most.
