"Linking" is a tricky word. It means what lawyers argue it to mean. You say that we only export POSIX style functions, this is true - but these functions also access the Samba internal datastructures. It can be argued that using the internals of Samba so intimately is "linking" to it - and we have done so in the past. As I said before - if you're trying to create a non-GPL Samba VFS layer CONSULT A COPYRIGHT LAWYER.
