Yes, you can enable it.
However, there is a possibility that a future update might again disable it.

Leap 16 (finally) uses the Standards Repository Index Service to define the official repositories.
As explained in this article:
“When this service is refreshed, the program will be executed and it will return the list of repositories in the same .repo files format that can be found in /etc/zypp/repos.d:
# output returned by the plugin
[repo-oss]
name=oss
enabled=1
autorefresh=0
baseurl=http://download.opensuse.org//distribution/11.4/repo/oss
type=yast2
keeppackages=0
...
As you can see, the main advantage of plugin services is that they can read information from the client and calculate the repository list from there. Nothing prevents a plugin service from still interacting with a server to obtain the repository list.
The main disadvantage is that you have logic on the client side which, in the event of bugs or changes, needs to be updated.»
non-oss is defined and disabled by default, but you are of course free to enable it if you wish to install non-FOSS applications.
And his can be achived via:
sudo zypper mr -e openSUSE:repo-non-oss
If your not using it, keep it disabled… I don’t have it enabled on any of my systems, one less repo to refresh…
