We don't link to libraries with proprietary licenses (this includes dynamic linking at runtime) as this would violate the GPL. For accessing external proprietary servers, the rule is that we require a public protocol specification and ideally at least a simple open source server that implements this protocol for testing purposes. Have a look at what Veritas are doing with their vxhs proposal right now, they are coming from a similar background (except that it's their own proprietary product). Kevin
