Microsoft and Samba finally come to terms over Windows protocols | |
|

After years of public disagreement over ensuring interoperability between their respective software, Microsoft and Samba have come to terms. And not surprisingly, each vendor is offering quite a different spin on the licensing agreement they unveiled on December 20. It took an intermediary, the Protocol Freedom Information Foundation (PFIF) a non-profit organization created by the Software Freedom Law Center to hand off the Microsoft protocol documentation that Samba said it needed to make its Unix/Linux file/print sharing products work properly with Windows. According to a press release issued December 20, Samba is paying Microsoft a one-time sum of 10,000 Euros, after which the PFIF will make available to the Samba Team, under non-disclosure, the documentation needed for implementation of all of the workgroup server protocols covered by the European Union decision. (The EU decision to which this refers is the Microsofts loss of its appeal to overturn the European Commissions 2004 antitrust decision against the company.) | ||
