RHEL vs SLES, why is there no OpenSource rebuild of SLES ?

Dear Lazyweb..

We were having this talk about distributions on #sisuite earlier this morning and a nice question came up ..

"I wonder why nobody tried to rebuild SLES like RHEL..."

RHEL has WhiteBox, Scientific and Centos, etc , RHEL has its early beta cycle in Fedora and Suse has a young but promising openSuse project for that reason, but that's where the comparison ends, there is no freely vailable Enterprise rebuild version of Suse.. , why not ? Is the RedHat community soo much bigger than the Suse one ?

#1 Charles : rhel vs sles

Hi,

i've always staied as far as possible form suse while they were a paied distro, and not that novell is behind it pushing proprietary code painted green all over the distro, i have another good reason to belive that a community based sles would be asking for trouble with licences.
