IIRC, Mandrake is based in France and is therefore not subject to U.S. law.

IIRC, Suse is a German company, and until the acquisition by Novell is
complete, is also not subject to U.S. law.  I imagine that Suse may no
longer be able to do these things out of the box once the acquisition is
complete.  Then again, I am neither a lawyer nor a prophet. :)
