Noah, I'm not sure about legal rights to distribute (I'm not from Citrix, and can't vouch for the original terms under which Citrix / Cloud.com acquired the jars). We'll have to get an answer from someone from that original team.
That being said, I don't think there is anything for the CloudStack community to do until the legal-discuss@a.o thread comes to a consensus. Also, I don't think that we are in a position where this has anything to do with a potential release. It *may* impact an eventual graduation, depending on the legal thread. Either way, to purge history will require folks from infra@ to get it done (if not root@). -chip On Mon, Oct 1, 2012 at 4:24 AM, Noah Slater <nsla...@tumbolia.org> wrote: > Just one follow up.
