A bill and delivery note from 21 November 2003 for "SUSE LINUX
Professional 9.0 - Student Version" says
postage and packing, including sale tax 3.53 EUR
sales tax 7.38 EUR
net 46.10 EUR
------------------------------------------------
total 53.48 EUR

IIRC the "User Version" did cost less money and the "Professional"
non-"Student Version" less than 100.00 EUR. The "Student Version" also
was available for the unemployed population.
