[Sheflug] Heads-up -- Microsoft endangers Samba?

["Chris J" <xxxxx [at] xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

More GPL shennigans (seems to be a lot of it going on recently). Microsoft, 
in its ongoing anti-trust saga, has licensed CIFS and SMB so third parties

license means that you can't open-source anything, thus Samba might have 
some problems in future development...
