Yes, it's free as in free speech, not as in free beer. SuSE actually
augments several things that are indeed nonfree and they also provide you
with a quite stable environment. They put effort in that. You get something
back for the amount of money you fork over in order to get the latest and
greatest.

And I'm certain that you wouldn't want the software you create from which
you want to make money to end up on a Chinese warez site either. So find
yourself a friend that /does/ have a credit card, pay him the money and let
him order for you. That's not that difficult, right?
