Thank you for replying. I've taken longer time to develop this patch, so
I'd like to confirm the detail.
1. Wireshark License is GPLv2.
2. GPLv2 is compatible with ``Modified BSD license'' as explained in
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html
3. As the GNU page says the ``Modified BSD license'' is like:
2.2.1. General
...
1. Redistributions of source code must retain the above copyright
notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer.
2. Redistributions in binary form must reproduce the above
copyright notice, this list of conditions and the following
disclaimer in the documentation and/or other materials provided
with the distribution.
3. The name of the author may not be used
to endorse or promote products derived from this software without
specific prior written permission.
...
4. BSD license in my patch
+ * - Redistributions of source code must retain the above copyright
notice,
+ * this list of conditions and the following disclaimer.
+ * - Redistributions in binary form must reproduce the above copyright
notice,
+ * this list of conditions and the following disclaimer in the
documentation
+ * and/or other materials provided with the distribution.
+ * - Neither the name of the MontaVista Software, Inc. nor the names of
its
+ * contributors may be used to endorse or promote products derived from
this
+ * software without specific prior written permission.
Comparing each clauses I can say BSD license in my patch is Modified BSD
license.
Could you tell me which one is incorrect?
BSD license in my patch is Modified BSD license. Modified BSD license is
compatible with GPLv2. So my patch can be included to wireshark.
