I dont need to press cd and sell them, I am a suse reseller already. I
believe there would be an issue with selling duplicates, but lending
or duplicating for a favour is permitted. If you want to be proven
wrong I suggest you take a look at:

http://www.suse.co.uk/uk/products/suse_linux/i386/freedom.html

second last paragraph entitled "Everything is permitted"

The issue of end users duplicating the CD's was raised at our last
reseller conference and was endorsed by SuSE UK Ltd. I might even have
it in writing but I think the above link says it all.
