David, Thanks for spotting that. As I said, we should have no problem changing the license to something more suitable. I have a few questions. - What is the best license to release this software under? I expect that a permissive, BSD-like license would be acceptable for the Apache Foundation, yes? - Will it be necessary to also release the API generation code as well? This is something I want to do anyway, but I want to know if it will be required for the Apache Foundation. - Will we have to re-license and re-publish previously released versions of the xenserverjava library? Which versions does CloudStack depend on? Would it instead be sufficient to re-license the library in the next version of XenServer? Thanks, Mike
