I understand, the strange license issue has been a concern with this
blueprint since the beginning. And DMTF schemas are needed in all WBEM
implementations so it doesn't matter which stack we choose :)

I'll discuss with Rick if it wouldn't be a better option to have the
sysadmin use the upstream-provided scripts to download and install the
CIM schema directly from the DMTF site, separately from sfcb install.
That's less "integrated" but is the only way if we want a WBEM stack to
be able to reach "main" at one point.

Thanks !
