Protocol Freedom Information Foundation (PFIF) has signed an agreement with
Microsoft to release their protocols relating to Windows Work Group Server.
The Foundation agrees to pay MS $10,000, and the agreement does not cover
patents. This agreement apparently was made to somewhat satisfy the EU
Commission complaints. With PFIF's objective to aid open source, this
agreement means that the Samba Team may finally get the information they
need to fully interoperate with Windows AD servers.
We can now hope to see GNU/Linux Systems being able to access windows
networks and resources more efficiently than before, when the Samba team
will implement the protocol with the information that they receive now. And
then it will be released under the GPL.
