It's useful to look at what you're agreeing to: http://download.opensuse.org/factory/repo/oss/EULA.txt
If you read through carefully, you'll notice that it basically says (1) this stuff is copyrighted, (2) this stuff has no warranty and (3) you are aware that there are US export controls.

I think it would be better if you clicked a button saying 'Yes, I have read this notice' rather than 'I agree to the licence terms'.

I think GPL pretty much clear explains copyrighted and copylefted approach to use the software products. I can't see anything new in this OpenSUSE 'agreement' rather then just a compilation of license agreements of all OpenSUSE components.
This compilation doesn't limit you to individual license neither supersedes any one. The latter one is some interesting point. Some firmware included in the distro has a proprietary nature of licensing and this license can not be superseded with an open source nature of licenses of OpenSUSE. I maybe wrong in such interpretation.
