This is where we're missing, then! The product is not the technical
reference -- the product is CIFS:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnkerb/html
/Licensing_CIFSandSMB.asp

Microsoft only mentions the technical reference as a document where CIFS is
described! If the technical reference were the product, there would be no
need to license or even mention the patents, and the license does both.
Don't read too much into the title of the page!
