GPL allows free distribution of derivative works as long as the source
code of that derivative work is freely available. I don't know that the
source code for NetServer is freely available, but I don't know that it
isn't, either.
If you dig into it, you'll find that lots of the QSHELL utilities
started out as open source. You'll also find that IBM is a huge
contributor to hundreds of open source projects. JTOPEN is an example.

I recall talking to Dave Boutcher about NetServer some five or six
years ago at COMMON. As I recall, NetServer is a Samba port that he
and a group in Rochester did. At least it started that way.
Samba is licensed under the GPL. So i find it hard to imagine that
NetServer is a Samba port.
