Hi,

As per my previous emails, the only questionably-licensed code we 
have left is the reed-solomon implementation. It is used only in 
packet-dcp-etsi.c.

I have failed to find any other suitably-licensed reed-solomon
implementations, and don't have time to write one myself. As such I
think our best course of option is to remove the current code and
disable that feature in the DCP-ETSI dissector.

I will submit a change to that effect shortly unless there are objections.

Did you try to contact Phil Karn? This stuff seems to be in linux kernel and I
doubt it's GPL1, moreover he has LGPL code at http://www.ka9q.net/
