I think that violates the GPL, according to http://wiki.wireshark.org/Lua:

[image: /!\] Even if the code you write in Lua does not need to be GPL'ed.
The code written in Lua that uses bindings to Wireshark must be distributed
under the GPL terms. see the GPL
FAQ<http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#TOCIfInterpreterIsGPL>for
more info [image: /!\]

There is at least one Wireshark author that will not allow to distribute
derivative work under different terms. To distribute Lua code that uses
Wireshark's bindings under different terms would be a clear violation of
the GPL.
