From Section 3:

All programmes derived from YaST, and all works derived thereof as a whole or 
parts thereof may only be disseminated with the amended sources and this 
licence in accordance with 2b). Making YaST or works derived thereof 
available free of charge together with SUSE Linux on FTP Servers and 
mailboxes is permitted if the licences on the software are observed.
