The GPL binaries should be provisioned in the template (using tools/appliance/ scripts) and should not be part of the systemvm.iso. The scripts in the iso can be modified as per the provisioned binaries. Xenserver tools can be made available for all and will facilitate features like dynamic scalin

For including xstools in systemvm we will be modifying the scripts. The gpl¹d binaries are not part of the distribution. That keeps us in clear as far as licensing is concerned. -abhi On 19/09/13 6:41 pm, "Daan Hoogland" wrote: > >yes, if someone can tell me if we can include gpl'd binaries in
