openSUSE
I'm not sure which parts of SUSE were not open, but anyway, Novell has made it completely open. Which is great :yes: .

As a past and probably future Suse user, I'm very happy about this. We've got most releases since 8.2 onwards, and currently 9.3 Professional is doing the job on my box.
OpenSuse 10.0.2 (iirc) is already now in beta stage, less than 3 weeks after the opening of opensuse.org! Pretty cool. :-)
Also, if any of you are interested in linux and open source in general, check out lugradio.org who do awesome podcasts. Their last episode (23 of season 2) has an interview with an opensuse creator and Novell employee. Highly commended, find it here.

I just checked this. Actually there are still some packages in this version which are neither free software nor 'open source', such as the original TOG's Motif (rathan than its free software replacement, LessTif, which is used by Debian). Also they do encourage users downloading and installing non-free software designed for GNU/Linux and distribute some ones from their site (such as Sun's Java).
However this is still much better than the original SuSE.
