Hi, To answer all questions I've got: - License: BSD, some parts (MOFs) under CPL (sorry for overlooking this); - 'life' name is quite unfortunate - agreed, don't know how to handle this; - dead web page (no lists, no docs etc.) - agreed, I can also add: broken upstream build system/versioning/dependencies, all CIM schema under 'Novell' namespace - a bit messy for Debian purposes, OpenWBEM specific interfaces (not portable, won't run on Pegasus, for example), many missing pieces (software inventory functionality for example); propably a better way would be adopting this code and developing more Debian-friendly set of CIM providers, my fault for premature ITPing this package.
The code itself seems to be fairly stable (at least compared with sblim-* from IBM) and is distributed along with OpenWBEM as a part of SuSE distribution. This package is intended as a part of a bigger effort of integrating WBEM functionality in Debian. Preliminary versions of packages (a proof of concept rather than a candidate to include into Debian) are ready, but many pieces are still missing. I'll post some announcement onto debian-mentor soon. You can grab packages from: http://www.pronet.pl/~rlewczuk OpenWBEM, some sblim-* and life providers/tools are available.
