Kadmos OCR only in suse 10.1, not in opensuse?


Hi,

The site of Novell at novell.com/products/linuxpackages/suselinux/kdegraphics3-scan.html
reveals that: "The SUSE version of Kooka is linked with KADMOS, a commercial ICR/OCR library that gives best detection results for different languages. As an open source alternative, the OCR command line tool gocr is also supported."

In opensuse 10.1, I only find gocr and ocrad, not kadmos (it is ghosted in the preferences of kooka). So this is a surplus in the commercial version (or only in SLED? -- who has experience?) I've never heard of it in the linux forums before reading the link above.

Are there still other somewhat hidden differences?

It makes sense that you have to pay for commercial add-ons. But what I am missing is a good comparison chart of ALL major and also important minor differences between the boxed suse 10.1, opensuse 10.1 and sled 10. There would be less confusion.
