Hi,

CIFS/9000 (SAMBA) does not require a license.
It's free!

Hi,

CIFS/9000 comes with a free license of which samba is a part of. The source code to samba can be obtained freely.

Samba (and hence CIFS/9000) is distributed under the GNU License. For more details see:

SAMBA is one of GNU products and adopts GNU GPL (General Public License).

We can use any software under that license for free and can redistribute without any restriction.

Never say "no" first.
