[jcifs] JSAMBA

[Eugenio GonçalvesPinto]

Chris and Mike, thanks for your quick feedback ;)

Is it necessary to change the project name even if I donate my code to
the Samba organisation?

I just would like to share my efforts with the community, getting
nothing in return.

Is there a leader in the Samba organisation?

Regards,
Eugenio
