samba - Jan 2014 - Using libsmbclient in a commercial product

Hi,

We are looking for options to use libsmbclient in a commercial
product, and would like to have more information on possible ways to
do this, like buying a commercial license, etc.
Does someone know where we can find more information about this (I
searched around but there doesn't seem to be a lot of information out
there), or is there anybody within samba.org we can contact to ask
more details?

Thanks in advance,
Kim

Hi, my understanding is that you cannot do this, but I could be wrong ;-)
