That’s not at all what happened. Apple was forced to abandon SAMBA because they switched to GPLv3, which is specifically designed to prevent using software in any commercial product. The choice was stay with the ancient SAMBA version, or write something new. GPLv3 is a poison pill, intentionally. -- A bird in the hand makes it difficult to blow your nose. _______________________________________________ MacOSX-admin mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-admin
