</I>OpenSuSE does include some non-free software (like drivers) in their official
repos but for those patent-related packages they have "packman" which is quite
similar to Mandriva's plf.
In the OpenSuSE-BuildService you can build Mandriva packages but only if they
have no dependencies outside main, because not even contrib is there...
And didn't Debian have "non-US" repositories?
