Zdenek,

	Please bear in mind that you are not able to
license the Samba server code under any other terms
that the GPL license it is already under.

Please read the file COPYING that comes with a Samba
distribution for license terms.

In short, you cannot keep any of the Samba code
proprietary, and all of your customers must be able
to obtain the source code for all components of the
Samba piece of your software.

If this works for you then good luck with your efforts !

Regards,
