I contacted SuSE regarding licensing and this is what
they had to say:

Dear Mr Trevor Lango,

Many thanks for your inquiry to our SUSE PreSales
Service and your
interest in SUSE LINUX.

licensing allow me to let other people use it to
install SuSE?

Yes indeed, BUT only for free! ONLY for FREE! You have
to give it away 
without to get money for that, please have a look at:

So: Novell/SUSE is the one and only who can sell SUSE
LINUX...

[snipped for clarity]

Thank you for your cooperation.

Kind regards,

With that said, I am perfectly willing to donate SuSE
9.0 Professional (box set with cd's, dvd, and books)
to LUGOD. Personally, I have moved on to Gentoo (which
is the best linux experience I have ever had! ;-)
