Hey Jesse, Why not just reference annex A? It is already a standard that CALEA recognizes. The wiki is not the first compilation of the information you're interested in referencing (hasn't changed since the first implementation so way back when, other than the timestamp precision field, which is always zero anyay), and from the perspective of safe harbor, referencing libpcap is not going to be helpful with CALEA, but referencing CM-SP-CBI20.0-I01-070611 will go a good way.

The wiki says, "Original content on this site is available underthe GNU General Public License." and as best I can find, that wiki isthe original place that file format info was put together. Having read the GNU General Public License, I still don't know how to properly applyit / what would be allowed here; but I believe I can get explicitpermission to include the content in an otherwise non-GPL work, so I'll just ask for that. We're putting together a CALEA standard that will bepublicly available; may we include content from that wiki? Or can anyone explain how the GPL would be applied to this situation?
