  10         <b>Samba is the standard Windows interoperability suite of programs for Linux and Unix.</b>
  11         </p>
  12 <p>
  13         Samba is <a href="https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html" target="_blank">Free Software</a> licensed under
  14         the <a href="/samba/docs/GPL.html">GNU General Public License</a>, the Samba project is a member
  15         of the <a href="https://www.sfconservancy.org/" target="_blank">Software Freedom Conservancy</a>.

  17 <p>
  18         Since <a href="/samba/docs/10years.html">1992</a>, Samba has provided secure, stable and fast
  19         file and print services for all clients using the SMB/CIFS protocol, such as all versions of DOS
  20         and Windows, OS/2, Linux and many others.
  21 </p>
  22 <p>
  23         Samba is an important component to seamlessly integrate Linux/Unix Servers and Desktops
  24         into Active Directory environments. It can function both as a domain controller or as a
  25         regular domain member.
