Yep, kde is stuck at GPLv2 for now(1), so looks like smb support will have
to be dropped, at least temporarily.
(1) qt is GPLv2, trolltech is evaluating GPLv2+ or GPLv3, but that's all
behind closed doors with no visible movement. There is a proposal within
kde to move to (L)GPLv2+. All of this is slow, tedious work, often
blocking on lawyers, and we all know how fast they are.
