Is this because of the QT license?
If so it seem that QT has a lot of exceptions:

I wonder why GPLv3 is not on the list yet.

Does anyone have more details?

Last I heard TrollTech was still evaluating this option.

Essentially unless the entire dependency chain for Samba is GPLv3 compatible, a new samba version under GPLv3 or later would be impossible to pull as incompatible licensing is a liability for the distribution and not necessarily for the individual components.
