Dan, thanks,

Your reasons sounds right, wsdl files are part of vim.jar and vim25.jar and
could be distributed like archives as mentioned in FAQ.

I think now there is no strong necessity to ask vmware license experts (
except some academic interest :) ), because with your help, guys, we've
found 'true' way of using vmware api.
