Sorry - are your files taken from the templates and slightly modified, or are they config files that simply happen to have similar sections to the defaults / documentation examples? We went through all these things with a fine-toothed comb for Apache CloudStack - possibly with even more caution than absolutely necessary - and we did wind up contacting several upstream maintainers to get a sign-off on their config files not being licensed under LGPL/GPL, etc. Best, jzb -- Joe Brockmeier [email protected] Twitter: @jzb http://www.dissociatedpress.net/
