Any pointers ? All I found was http://www.parallels.com/ptn/download/sdk/
and it's quite silent on code availability and Licence for the libraries.
It has a proprietary license and not open sourced now. Is it a problem?
If the license is not LGPLv2+ compatible, then it can't be used by libvirt, regardless of whether it is directly linked, or dlopened. In other words using 'dlopen' doesn't magically solve the license compatibility problem. Will we solve the issue if libvirt will be statically linked with SDK library (as Daniel requests) and SDK library itself will be distributed in binary form under BSD license conditions (which is LGPLv2 compatible)?
