Just seen on The Register that Samba is signing up for GPL v3 (link here: http://www.regdeveloper.co.uk/2007/07/10/samba_signs_to_gplv3/) It looks like anything from Samba 3.2.x onwards will be under GPL3. With Samba now being a pretty big part of linking Linux machines to Windows and vice versa, does this mean it's going to leave distros such as Novell SUSE out in the cold, or would they have to fork the Samba code from 3.0.x and maintain their own version of Samba? Presumably Novell can't use anything licenced under GPL v3 for future distro releases because of their link with Microsoft? (or am I completely wrong here?).
