Thanks for clarifying the redistribution issue - that goes a long way to help. However, there may be a few people who don't wish to or may be unable to redistribute it - the ASF is likely to be one of those.
Is there anything (e.g. IP constraints on the protocol) that would hinder the independent development of a alternative, open source, network driver?

Hi Jeremy,
I certainly understand that an open source solution is preferable. By all means, someone can develop an alternative, open source, network driver. The Network Server is open source and speaks DRDA. So, someone can certainly develop an open source driver to talk to the network server. Or, someone could pursue another solution completely if the community agrees that's best. If you or someone else is interested, I suggest you make a proposal on the dev mail list about how to proceed. There are members of the community who are familiar with DRDA if you need information on that route.
