    <p>libvirt is released under the <a href="http://www.opensource.org/licenses/lgpl-license.html">GNU Lesser
    General Public License</a>, see the file COPYING.LIB in the distribution
    for the precise wording. The only library that libvirt depends upon is
    the Xen store access library which is also licenced under the LGPL.</p>

    <p>Yes. The LGPL allows you to embed libvirt into a proprietary
    application. It would be graceful to send-back bug fixes and improvements
    as patches for possible incorporation in the main development tree. It
    will decrease your maintainance costs anyway if you do so.</p>

    forbidden to user, at least for monitoring purposes. If "virsh dominfo"
