Do you have a list of projects that depend on libsmbclient?
For now, QT has been relicensed and KDE too allows GPLv3 linkage.
GNOME's use of libsmbclient is well-guarded as well, the only
incompatible application last time we've checked was bug-buddy but it
can't load libsmbclient-based plugin under any circumstances (its use
of gnome-vfs is controlled and limited). With gio/gvfs process
separation it all became easier.
VLC has selected to not update their smb plugin to GPLv3 yet. Any other apps?
