I usually trust that the packages released and maintained by distributions are not crippled. It sucks that one would have to go outside the distro's on package manager to get something available within said package manager in order for it not to be crippled. I generally frown on stuff like that.
Yeah, it is unfortunate that openSUSE must adhere to German laws.
The Packman repo and packages are generally maintained by openSUSE's staff. So it's a technical strategy to legally provide users with complete packages. YaST links are provided by SUSE and easily entered into package management. It is absolutely no big deal. For all practical purposes Packman 'behaves' like any other SUSE repo.
BTW: This issue affects openSUSE because the distro is mostly developed in Germany. And that's also the location of their servers.

I think I have figured out what Störerhaftung means. No way for charges to stick to SUSE. Operative word in all of that is "think".
