I read a developer 'complain' as he had a software (GPLv2 and later) combining Qt (GPLv2 only) and Samba.
He is unhappy about the change of Samba from GPLv2 to v3, as it means that he has to stop his project: Qt and Samba are no longer compatible due to Samba change of licensing..
So it's nice for Samba developers to gain compatibility with Apache code, but this change of license do create problems.
