But let's be realistic here - this is a commercial product, offering
what many businesses want - to pay at a reasonable level for support of
a business critical application.

SuSE have taken free components - the base Linux kernel and GNU
utilities, IMAP server, Postfix etc. etc. and put them together with
their own Perl scripts for an administration front end, and a
groupware/calendaring program. I see nothing wrong with that - they are
adding to the free software parts, and charging for support.
