I'm interested in deltacloud but I got stumped by the following
statement on the deltacloud.org front page: "Deltacloud API and Portal
are free and open source (LGPL, GPL)". Could someone explain this? I
looked at the API definition <http://deltacloud.org/api.html> and I
don't see any mention of license there. What is licensed around
deltacloud and what is the status of the API and API definitions?
Thanks,

Thats a good question and I cant find any GPL or LGPL headers
anywhere, apart from in Portal in the COPYING file (which I thought
was a requirement of the GPL).

Thorsten,
You are correct, that is not very clear on the site. The portal is
GPL(v2) and everything else (framework, drivers, client-ruby) are
LGPLv2.1.
I am about to send a series of patches updating the code and adding the
COPYING file as appropriate, so the codebases should be correct by
sometime monday.

what about for people implementing the API directly - ie not using any
code from deltacloud.org - what would apply to them?

Not sure, think Hugh or maybe Bob would have to answer that one.

I think the API described in prose, both normative and non-normative
should be under some Open Document License or Creative Commons.
Implementations based upon those specs should be free to license
themselves entirely however they want, with no further restrictions.
Perhaps (and talk to Legal), we need a restriction on "Deltacloud" as
a trademark to implementations that have passed some TCK (currently
non-existant). Otherwise, they can't say "Deltacloud-REST API" on the
tin. That's the Sun(R)/Java Way(tm) of controlling IP.
So, I think we need a TCK.
