Hi all, I just checked the XenServer API bindings for Java, and it seems that we've dual-licensed them under the LGPLv2 and Apache v2.0 licenses. Are there different XenServer API bindings for Java that are licensed differently, that I'm not aware of? These bindings are autogenerated, which is why there is no source repository for them. The license on the API bindings generation code is GPLv2, so I don't see any reason why we couldn't publish the source repo for these bindings. David, if you have API bindings changes you need made, I can put you in contact with the team that owns the bindings generation code, and we can try to get those changes upstreamed there. Also, I would be interested in publishing the various language bindings as packages for deb and rpm based distros. We've already pushed the xenapi-python bindings to Debian and Ubuntu, so it would make sense to add the Java and C bindings. Mike
