I am sorry, but upstream has every right to change their license 
to whatever they wish. If somebody wants to use their 
functionality (you know, KDE is using product of Samba folks 
work), then he/she/it must accommodate his code.

b) When choosing whether we want to fork Samba or whether KDE 
will suck it up, we probably decide what is more important to us 
-- fully functional Samba fully supported by upstream or KDE 
supporting smb:// (the situation would be the same if it was 
Gnome what is affected -- don't drag me into that religious war)?  
I am afraid the answer is obvious.
