As I've stated before, I don't have much personal interest in the helen dissector. So unless it carries a GPL license (or someone in the Wireshark core reads the Dark Corner license and convinces me that it's GPL-compatible and would be accepted into the Wireshark code base), I have absolutely zero interest in it. A non-GPL license attached to the helen dissector may not only hinder its inclusion into Wireshark but also the willingness of anyone, such as myself, to continue to assist with its development. - Chris -----Original Message----- From: wireshark-dev-bounces () wireshark org [mailto:wireshark-dev-bounces () wireshark org] On Behalf Of ronnie sahlberg Sent: Wednesday, February 10, 2010 5:59 PM To: Developer support list for Wireshark Subject: Re: [Wireshark-dev] preliminary code submission Any particular reason this is not licensed under GPL? I am not sure that this licence is compatible with GPLv2 which may hinder its inclusion into wireshark. It is not known to the gpl folks and thus not explicitely listed as gpl compatible. http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html There are also some sections I think might be problematic and which would require a more detailed analysis. Possible to re-licence it under GPLv2 or maybe one of the other licences that have been verified to be compatible and has the blessing of the gpl folks? regards ronnie sahlberg [snip] CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: The contents of this email are confidential and for the exclusive use of the intended recipient.
