samba - Jul 2004 - RE: Can I get the GPL source for the Samba version used in the Gu ardian OS?

Then you are in violation of section 3 of the GPL as printed at
http://oss.snapappliance.com/license.html

Samba is licensed under the GPL, and the version in SNAP is modified. I'd
like the modifications.

The modifications available at oss.snapappliance.com are old.

In the words of the hitch hikers guide to the galaxy...
Don't panic :-).

Rodney is incorrect - SNAP do make source available. Marc Kaplan
who is an engineer at SNAP is a member of the Samba Team, so
we will get this sorted out without upset :-).

Give them a short break, they just got bought by Adaptec (which
I think is really cool btw and should mean more resources for
Samba !) so they may be a little slower to respond than you'd
like, but you will definately get the source code.
