You're completely welcome. The notice in the schema is not exactly the same as what is in our current document postings. For the moment, however, the below text is the notice I have been advised should apply.

I will ask for additional clarification on this today, since I think it would be *not a good idea* to make any assumptions about, given the textual discrepancies between the below and that provided in the schema.

Hi Bill,

Thanks for the LDIF!

Can we assume the license on this is the same as for the schema? For
the schema the version we got from MS had the license at the top,
which you can see here:

For the schema license, see this:

   http://samba.org/ftp/unpacked/samba_4_0_test/source4/setup/ad-schema/MS-AD_Schema_2K8_Classes.txt

I'm pretty sure you intend us to just use the same license, but I
thought I should check.

Cheers, Tridge
