where is the distro licence? could not find it at
openSuse.org
I couldn't find a licence either, but did find this, which seems to
rest this particular discussion at least:

Suggest New Features or Software
Visit the Wishlists page and pick a category where you can add your
suggestion. You can suggest a new application in a special Package
Wishlist. Please edit the table there and add your wishes. Only
software with an OSI-compliant open-source license will be added to
the openSUSE project.

I presume that if only OSD compliant software will be used for
future additions, the earlier software included is also OSD
compliant.
No. Because OSI approved licences can mean anything eg. CDDL and a
wierdo Nokia licence. Free in their own jails.
And OSI is deliberating the approval of some M$ licence which is
anything but open. Hmmm. No i am sure that the two have nothing in
common and only the customers best interests are in consideration as
customers are craving for the crack that they are living on and it is
sooo cruel to deny them their fix.
