It appears to be licensed under GPLv3 only, which makes it incompatible for us to include. It seems to be included only because links/lynx didn't appear to work a while ago when building under WIndows. If that is no longer true then I think we can just remove it with no loss of functionality? Other suggestions, alternatives, etc welcome of course.
If I understand it correctly, this tool is only used during the build process. As long as it doesn't effect the license of its output and is not installed as part of the binary package, I don't see a problem in using it during the build process or including it in the source distribution. We have to make sure its license is correctly mentioned in our COPYING file. ciao jörg -- Joerg Mayer <jmayer () loplof de> We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
