The point is that not all Linux distros are entirely Free Software, I
don't think we should encourage people to copy CD's because it says
"Linux", we should educate them to understand about free software
licences, and I may even encourage them only to use the stuff that is Free.

Not all SUSE Linux produts are on their FTP site AFAIK.

Anything can be on a random public FTP site, Freenet even has a DVD
download section for those with more bandwidth than scruples.
