cf.
https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/588
in particular
https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/588#issuecomment-102496028
and
https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/588#issuecomment-152813787
and follow the links therein.
In particular see
https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/214
that points to
https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=811636
which explains that the final reason behind are legal issues
as far as I understand
https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=811636#c4

Alternatively for newer SLE12 we provide "ebiso", cf
https://github.com/gozora/ebiso
but we provide "ebiso" only via the SLE-HA extension.
You can also get "ebiso" from the openSUSE Build Servce.
See
http://www.it3.be/2015/10/27/uefi-iso-boot-with-ebiso/
and/or
https://github.com/gozora/ebiso/blob/master/README.md
how to use "ebiso"

Or alternatively you may try "mksusecd" which is SUSE's
own tool to create the SUSE Linux installation ISOs.
"mksusecd" is available from the openSUSE Build Servce.
I guess with "mksusecd" you get 100% SUSE-compatible ISOs.
