We shipped ksmbd a few months ago to a few million users. We had to iron out a few bugs, but otherwise it works really well (it supports SMBv3.1.1 and is faster than samba).

Who are these millions?

So this is all really about workarounding the GPLv3. Sigh.

Saying that because the motivation is apparently that Free was "stuck" for non-descript reasons with "an old unsecure SMBv1 server", which, i'm going to guess, due to an entirely random coincidence, happens to be the latest version of Samba which was GPLv2-licensed. :(
