To make things crystal clear: 

**********************************************
Samba 3.0.36 is licensed under GPLv2 or later.
**********************************************

It should be obvious from the file COPYING that ships with
3.0.36, as well as the individual license headers in the .c
files, from which I copied a snippet here. This is also what
we wanted to say with "all versions of Samba numbered 3.0.x
and before remain under the GPLv2".

Sorry if all these hints are not clear enough. I'm afraid
I'm not a native speaker, through my German filter this is
pretty clear language.

Can you suggest a wording that is more clear, to avoid
further confusion?

Thanks,

Volker
