I think this is the key difference between a software and a data license: and
we are not distribution the sample data files "under" LGPL?
(You are correct we need to list the license we are making the data available
with - since we distribute the file; but it is not one of the ones we compile
into our code and execute and is thus not required to be compatible with LGPL).
In this case we simply list the data license (somewhere where the developers
can see it) and move on. We should probably list it for correct sample data
attribution.

Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning
Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing
also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service.
