There isn't a Windows "port" but a Samba-clone. It was made by a company called 
Microsoft. You should check them out someday, some of their software actually 
doesn't suck.

Seriously, a Windows port of Samba wouldn't make much sense since the whole 
point of Samba is to do what Windows already does natively. It also likely 
wouldn't be possible to run Samba because Windows listens on the same ports 
that Samba would be using.

Also, if licensing was your reason for wanting Samba: Samba wouldn't allow you 
to sidestep any of the Windows license limitations in the first place. The 
license limitations apply regardless of which software you use to share files.
