Licensing Information

Open Source Used In Cisco FXOS 1.1(3) 1176

This text consists of three parts:

Part I: Some remarks regarding the license given in

Part II: The actual license that covers Wireshark.

Part III: Other applicable licenses.

When in doubt: Part II/III is the legally binding part, Part I is just

there to make it easier for people that are not familiar with the GPLv2.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Part I:

Wireshark is distributed under the GNU GPLv2. There are no restrictions

on its use. There are restrictions on its distribution in source or

binary form.

Most parts of Wireshark are covered by a "GPL version 2 or later" license.

Some files are covered by different licenses that are compatible with

the GPLv2.

As a notable exception the pidl utility at tools/pidl is covered by a

"GPL version 3 or later" license. Note that only the tool itself

is covered by this license, not the source code generated by it. The

pidl authors do not consider generated code a derived work of pidl.

Parts of Wireshark can be built and distributed as libraries. These

parts are still covered by the GPL, and NOT by the Lesser General Public

License or any other license.

If you integrate all or part of Wireshark into your own application, then

that application must be released under a license compatible with the GPL.

The full text of the GNU GPL and the other applicable licenses follows.
