You are ;)

It would be a violation of the GPL and probably other licenses if SUSE
tried to limit the use of the eval CDs or DVDs to evaluation purposes.
These editions are called "Eval" because they contain a reduced set of
packages and don't have the installation support included that comes
with the "commercial" boxed version.

You must have been looking at the (3.3GB) Eval-DVD, which has the same
reduced set of packages as the 5 CDs, and doesn't include all of the
postgresql packages. But they are definitely included in the (8GB) DVD
that comes with the boxed version of SUSE Linux 10.
