OK, after finding that a binary version of rpm2cpio worked on SUSE's
RPMs, I looked through _all_ of those packages whose licensing Novell
classified as "Commercial" -- except the three included only on DVD
(cop-track, novell-ifolder-client, wnn-sdk).  Someone else would have to
check those.

Short summary of the other 24 follows; after that, supporting details
from the packages themselves.

acroread:  Non-redistributable (except by signing over your copy).
agfa-fonts:  No licence statement.
avmailgate:  Non-redistributable.
avm_fcds:  Non-redistributable.
avmfritzcapi:  Non-redistributable.
bitstream-vera.html:  Redistributable.
flash-player:  No licence statement.
intel-536ep:  Open source.
ipw-firmware:  Redistributable.
iscan:  Non-redistributable.
km_fcdsl:  No licence statement for the binary-only portions of this driver.
km_fritzcapi:  Non-redistributable.
km_smartlink-softmodem:  No licence statement for the binary-only portions 
    of this driver.
ltmodem:   No licence statement for the binary-only portions of this driver.
mainactor:   Non-redistributable (except by signing over your copy).
moneyplex:   Non-redistributable.
opera:  Non-redistributable (except by signing over your copy).
planmaker:  Redistributable.
realplayer:  Non-redistributable.
sesam_srv:  Non-redistributable.
smartlink-softmode:  Redistributable.
textmaker:  Redistributable.
ttf-founder-simplified:  Redistributable.
ttf-founder-traditional:  Redistributable.

Supporting details:

The line in quotation marks at the beginning of each item is the
licensing characterisation on Novell's package descriptions for SUSE 9.3
Pro.

Reminder:  Because works under copyright have their right of
redistribution reserved by default to the copyright owner, if you
receive no licensing terms for a work or part of a work, then you 
technically have _no_ right of redistribution (regardless of whether
anyone's likely to ever sue you).  I've therefore included such works
in the "Non-redistributable" category, above.

Hi Lolley,

Juergen Weigert has a question concerning the license of the Founder
fonts.

Point 3 of the license below sounds like nobody is allowed to
do anything with the font. No commercial and no non-commercial
use means no use at all.

I guess that is just a mistake because whoever wrote that license
could not write English well. Probably the intention is that
only Novell is allowed to use the font and nobody else. Probably
the intention of Point 3 is only to forbid that other companies
of individuals outside of Novell make use of the font.

What is written in the Chinese version of the license?
Point 3 in Chinese says:

    3**************Novell***********
       **********

Can you please clarify what that means? Nobody here can read Chinese.

It contains the word Novell and * (probably means "except")
and ******** (probably means commercial or non-commercial)

I guess this means that nobody except Novell is allowed to
use the font for commercial or non-commercial reason.
Maybe you can ask Founder to update the English text of the license to
make the intention of Point 3 clear?

Thank you very much,

      Mike

Hi Mike,
Yes, I confirm this is a translation mistake after I compare Chinese
version and English version. What item 3 in Chinese want to say is "
Making use of Founder fonts in any form in any non-commerical or
commerical software or products except Novell serial products"

Hope this clairfy the thing.

Thanks and best regards.
