true, but then mindshare and release craze is the only palpable currency in a world where
distributions are free for the taking. i can understand the suse crowd is less than enthused
about people ripping them off by pushing pre-release stuff to the masses to improve their
sales, and taking momentum out of the legitimate release at the same time.

it should be noted that the final release eula is a lot more in keeping with established
standards of the open source community.

i agree there should be a less obnoxious way of discouraging freeloaders - maybe the suse
community should review their pre-release eula. but compared to a windows pre-release one,
it's still amazingly friendly :-D
