I reached out to some contacts at NetApp, their product management team =
quoted the following part of their "NETAPP MANAGEABILITY SDK - =
EULA.docx"[1] to me:

"Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, NetApp grants You =
a license to:...Use, reproduce and distribute the Language Libraries in =
object code form (for C/C++, Java, C#, VB.NET and PowerShell only) and =
source code form (for Perl, Python and Ruby only) as incorporated into =
the Licensee Application; provided, however, that You (A) reproduce and =
include the copyright notice that appears in the Language Libraries as =
provided by NetApp, and (B) distribute the Licensee Application =
incorporating the Language Libraries pursuant to terms no less =
restrictive than those set forth herein. You shall not modify the =
Language Libraries; and..."

Not that we want to distribute jars in the source, I was told they don't =
have an "open source" license so this wouldn't fly with ASL, but perhaps =
we could provide the library as part of the "convenience builds?"

1: I can forward the docx to the list or put it up somewhere if there's =
interest
