Implementation not supplied due to licensing conditions. TODO: EIA1. svn path=/trunk/; revision=54782 This violates the GPLv2 requirement of not linking against code that is neither GPLv2 compatible nor a system library. This is not what open source is about. As long as we'd have any implementation that's GPLv2+ compatible with an identical API it would be fine to use another implementation, but code linking against a lib that doesn't exist is not acceptable.
That matches my understanding too. ___________________________________________________________________________ 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
