This is not an EULA, it's a license notice," says Joe Brockmeier, openSUSE Community Manager. This is an effort make openSUSE easy to re-distribute and make modifications.

The reason I've chosen SUSE is that it does not bother me with "free" and "non-free" too much. It was good to have true SUN Java JDK, Flash and Acrobat out of the box. Now it is gone.
I don't have emotional relationship with my system, I use it as a tool. Now, the tool has become less useful.
