That's not libsmb; rather, it's the kernel module that can read/write remote SMB file systems. libsmb, more properly known as libsmbclient, is a library which an application may link with for remote access to SMB file systems. It is part of the Samba project, and is GPL. libsmbclient supports the smb:// URI syntax.
You are right. But the non-GPL'ed "libsmb" is not exactly a kernel module but a set of pieces of code mostly utilised in the filesystem module "smbfs" out there. Moriyoshi
