[ngw] smartphones

[Joseph Marton]

No, Patrick is 100% correct.  Here is how the EULA was worded a few months ago.

"You are authorized to use an unlimited number of copies of the SUSE®
Linux Enterprise Server 10 portion of the Software (“SLES 10”) to run OES
services for licensed OES Users. In addition, You may use an unlimited
number of copies of SLES 10 in support of any other software product You
elect to use to service, support, secure or manage licensed OES Users.
However, the foregoing license grants do not permit You to use SLES 10
(or any updates thereto provided in connection with Your OES licenses)
other than for licensed OES Users."

In other words, you could use SLES 10 as much as you wanted to run any
service you wanted as long as the users accessing those services were
covered by OES2 licenses.
