I have to disagree with your statement. What do you mena by a non-free Linux distribution? Everything is free except their own value added tools such as YaST and SaX. Those two tools are some of the reasons they are getting bigger. Maybe someday they will put license the code under the GPL, which BTW, its printed on page 407 of the manual.
As far as they not contributing to the community, you might not be aware that SuSE has developed quite a few of the card specific X servers distributed with XFree.
You talk about them not contributing code, what about Red Hat, are the Printtool, LinuxConf or the sndconfig licensed under the GPL?
This my friend is what distinguishes distributions from each other, giving us a choice.
