Re: libpcap license?

["Gianluca Varenni" <gianluca.varenni () cacetech com>]

As a matter of facts, libpcap includes files with more different licenses. 
That's why for WinPcap I came out with the long license available at

http://www.winpcap.org/misc/copyright.htm

Consider that some of those licenses apply to Windows only (as some files 
are included in the windows build, only).

Just my two cents
