9) OSR6 license fees per user
linux is unlimited users

10) OSR6 license fees per processor
linux unlimited processors


11) OSR6 fees when you want to upgrade to 6.0.1, ofcourse you can't use 
6.0.0 licenses in this one.
linux unlimited upgrades

Don't use Suse for your latests hardware use Redhat AS/4 or Fedora Core4
