[Pkg-samba-maint] Upcoming possible licensing issues kde vs samba

[Sune Vuorela]

Hi samba people

Rumors out in the wild says that the upcoming samba release is under some 
GPLv3 (or maybe LGPLv3).

Qt (and thus kde) is GPLv2 only.

It seems to be that GPLv2 is incompatible with GPLv3 and LGPLv3, so if samba 
gets upgraded to a GPLv3  version, we are going to have problems with KDE.

I don't know the proper solution to this - and a Qt + kde relicensing to GPLv2 
or later isn't happening anytime soon. At least not within the next 4-6 
months - maybe never.

I hope that you nice samba people with take this into account when doing newer 
upstream samba releases.

(KDE uses libsmbclient)

I cannot unmount the line, how does it work?

First from Mac 99 or from the panel inside AutoCAD you should telnet from a 
computer for installing on a icon.
