It's called Scamba and it was created in order to help users comply with
the law and SCO's IP rights. First you must illegally obtain a Samba
source distribution and unpack it. At this point, depending upon
current law, the user may wish to check with the RIAA and MPAA for any
required patches for DRM enforcement. You then download the Proprietary
Extraction and Reporting Language script from SCO (after signing an NDA)
and run it against the Samba source tree you just stole. The script
strips all the GPL references from the source and replaces them with the
correct SCO copytheft notices. It then compiles the source to create
the needed binaries and then finally deleting the downloaded/patched
source tree leaving the user in full compliance with Scamba binary-only
licensing. For a mere US $2995.00 per seat, Scamba pricing reflects the
true value of the software while helping SCO to recover from the heinous
damage caused by OSS and the evil people behind it.
