sticks to supporting GPLv2+ rather than GPLv3+, then WINE will no
longer be able to integrate Samba code.
This point is actually moot. Samba is GPL and Wine is LGPL. I don't see v3 having changed something in regard to that. If Wine wants to use Samba code it has to ask the people that own the copyright to relicense their work.
