samba shared client lib needs LGPL

[William Stuart]

I don't understand...

I know SAMBA or any derived work can not be released under LGPL.  I seem
to recall a thread a few months ago where this was discussed and none of
the library routines would be released under LGPL.

And I downloaded your package and read the COPYING and that is the GPL.

So what is this all about?
