Q. Can I redistribute the VI SDK libraries and sample code?</p><p style="margin:2px;padding:0px;border:0px;outline:0px;font-size:12px;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;vertical-align:baseline;line-height:18px;color:rgb(51,51,51);text-align:left">
A. You can redistribute only those parts of the SDK package that have been designated as “distributable code”.</p><p style="margin:2px;padding:0px;border:0px;outline:0px;font-size:12px;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;vertical-align:baseline;line-height:18px;color:rgb(51,51,51);text-align:left">

To note developers typically generate web service stubs from the WSDL file that is included in the VI SDK using a SOAP toolkit. The stubs source and the compiled stubs can also be distributed.

When I opened up vim25.jar, I see: SDK/vsphere-ws/wsdl/vim25/vimService.wsdl , which is the file referenced in the docs (<a href="http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-compute/admin/content/vmware.html" target="_blank">http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-compute/admin/content/vmware.html</a>). </p>

So... while I am not a lawyer, it would seem like you are at least able to redistribute vim25.jar, which contains the file needed for the workaround. Perhaps send a note to the email address above to confirm? Feel free to CC in case I can help. </p>
