can somebody compare eula from other linux based os vendors ?
The licence says it all. Contrast the above with this http://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines
I would like to draw attention to one distinction: the social contract governs Debian, and not the end users; Debian does not have an end user license agreement.
The debian installer, and the cd's created, have a regular GPL license, but I doubt that can be called an EULA in the sense that SUSE/Red Hat impose on their end users.
While I shan't get into the religious jihads of whose distro is bigger; I am compelled to note that Debian is a fundamentally different beastie when it comes to freedom issues (which may or may not be a good thing, depending on your perspective).
