The smbclient extension is linked against libsmbclient which is GPLv3+
This license is BSD which is not compatible.
BTW, if re-licensed, is it ok to have a GPLv3 extension linked
against PHP which is mostly BSD ?

I am a bit confused. Are you saying that you believe BSD and GPLv3 to be
incompatible?
The PHP license is arguably incompatible with GPLv3, but the normal BSD
license should be compatible.

In short.
The extension is linked against (use symbols from)
- libsmbclient which is GPLv3+
- PHP
What is the proper License to use for this extension ?

So... the extension, which is BSD, is linked against both php (PHP license)
and libsmbclient (GPLv3+)?
Thanks,

Given this situation, I do not think there is a license compatibility

The license for the package containing the extension should be "License:
BSD", as this reflects the license on the included code.
