There is indeed a licensing issue. It was in the codebase in 2011 and removed in 2012 as we readied for the first ASF release. For a history, see: https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=cloudstack.git;a=history;f=scripts/vm/hypervisor/xenserver/vhd-util;h=46d62dd44d9224b9b8c5c11f05bb789473ddc1a4;hb=HEAD Tuna: Please revert this commit. vhd-util is both a binary and licensed in a manner that makes it impossible from an ASF policy perspective to retain in our version control or ship in a release - both of which are problematic. --David
