*Important:* In order to avoid any potential licensing issues we also ask that anyone who has signed the Microsoft CIFS Royalty Free Agreement http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cifs/protocol/royalty-free_cifs_technical_reference_license_agreement.asp not submit patches to Samba, nor base patches on the referenced specification. We ask, too, that patches submitted to Samba not infringe on any known patents. Finally, as with all GPL work, the submitter should ensure that submitted patches do not conflict with any third-party copyright.
Do we need to put in something like that too?
Oh, right, I've seen it before, but I didn't think about Wine then.
I vote for including it (in modified form, if necessary).
Better be safe than sorry (you never know what M$ will do two days later).
