Read and understand. It is apparent that you will no longer be allowed to use Samba (with windows) without being a patent infringer. While the patent is utter crap because prior art existed, it takes ten years and 2 to 20 million dollars to prove that in court. OTOH, Samba is a nice filesharing system to use in linux. Perhaps without the yoke of staying interoperable with windows it could develop into something mighty fine. Civileme
