This section in the README is misleading as you can access the BCI Repo without any credentials:
Building images on non SLE distributions
It is possible to build SLE based docker images on other distributions as well. For that the following two files from a base SLE system are needed:
/etc/SUSEConnect for the API access point
/etc/zypp/credentials.d/SCCcredentials for providing the user credentials
These files can be copied from a SLE machine that has been successfully registered at the SUSE Customer Center, RMT or SMT.
With Ubuntu 20.04 I was able to build it without any restrictions:
