Samba finally got it

Samba Team finally got the protocol documentation... as stated in "Samba Team receives MS protocol documentation

Andrew Tridgell, creator of Samba, said:

We are very pleased to be able to get access to the technical information necessary to continue to develop Samba as a Free Software project. Although we were disappointed the decision did not address the issue of patent claims over the protocols, it was a great achievement for the European Commission and for enforcement of antitrust laws in Europe. The agreement allows us to keep Samba up to date with recent changes in Microsoft Windows, and also helps other Free Software projects that need to interoperate with Windows
