I'm not sure we can assume anything if they don't publish a license for 
it- they own copyright for the WSDL so an implementation of that WSDL does 
"use" their intellectual property! At least as much as the XSD element 
definitions and WSDL operation definitions are their IP.

 From [1] I did find a general Amazon WS license [2]. However, I didn't 
find anything that would read on our scneario .. Shivantha please read and 
see!

 From what I can tell now there's no reason why we can't implement the 
same WSDL and give the code for it as a sample.
