The Foundation agrees to pay MS $10,000, and the agreement does not cover patents. This agreement apparently was made to somewhat satisfy the EU Commission complaints. With PFIF's objective to aid open source, this agreement means that the Samba Team may finally get the information they need to fully interoperate with Windows AD servers."Read more of this story (http://developers.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/12/20/2150250&from=rss) at Slashdot.
