All VFS modules *MUST* be distributed under the GPL.  All code that is
linked to Samba *must* be under distributable under the same licence as
samba itself.  

That being said, you are free to also distribute it under a more liberal
licence (the LGPL for example) or another licence *and* the GPL (at the
user's option).
