If it requires a bunch of configuration, I agree it is just V. But if there's an orchestration layer that informs all other systems of its presence, including management and licensing, without having to configure all that, then it is NFV. Now, whether the aforementioned vendors are actually doing this, that can be debated (and I'd be curious to hear people's options on it). They may just be doing V with a long-term vision of NFV, I don't know.
