+    <title>Building Non-OSS</title>
+    <para>If you need support for the VMware, NetApp, F5, NetScaler, SRX, or any other non-Open Source Software (nonoss) plugins, you'll need to download a few components on your own and follow a slightly different procedure to build from source.</para>
+    <note><title>Why Non-OSS?</title>
+        <para>Some of the plugins supported by &PRODUCT; cannot be distributed with &PRODUCT; for licensing reasons. In some cases, some of the required libraries/JARs are under a proprietary license. In other cases, the required libraries may be under a license that's not compatible with <ulink url="http://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#category-x">Apache's licensing guidelines for third-party products</ulink>.</para>

+            <para>To build the Non-OSS plugins, you'll need to have the requisite JARs installed under the <filename>deps</filename> directory.</para>
+            <para>Because these modules require dependencies that can't be distributed with &PRODUCT; you'll need to download them yourself. Links to the most recent dependencies are listed on the <ulink url="https://cwiki.apache.org/CLOUDSTACK/how-to-build-on-master-branch.html"><emphasis>How to build on master branch</emphasis></ulink> page on the wiki.</para></listitem>
+        <listitem>
+            <para>You may also need to download <ulink url="http://download.cloud.com.s3.amazonaws.com/tools/vhd-util">vhd-util</ulink>, which was removed due to licensing issues. You'll copy vhd-util to the <filename>scripts/vm/hypervisor/xenserver/</filename> directory.</para>

+        <listitem>
+            <para>Once you have all the dependencies copied over, you'll be able to build &PRODUCT; with the <command>nonoss</command> option:</para>

+        <listitem>
+            <para>Once you've built &PRODUCT; with the <command>nonoss</command> profile, you can package it using the <xref linkend="sect-source-buildrpm" /> or <xref linkend="sect-source-builddebs" /> instructions.</para>
