I think not, that is, I find no documentation indicating that I'm not 
free to make copies of my purchased SuSE cds/dvds and give them away. 
As a matter of fact, there is a file on the first dvd named COPYING, and 
it is the standard COPYING GNU license stuff you'll find with other 
distros.  As most software tells you that if you open the cds you're 
bound by there licensing, all it says on the SuSE disks is:

Durch Bruch des Siegels erkennen Sie den abgedruckten Haftungsausschluss an.

For those of you not up on your German it also says this in English:

By breaking the seal you accept the exclusions of warranty.

I would disagree.  As noted, I find the SuSE install (cd) the simplest 
by far.
