Hi,
Always check the documentation provided, and/or any license information in the binary distribution.
You'll find it in the About Wireshark dialog box, on the tab License.
FYI: (Most of) the Wireshark code is licensed under "GPL 2 or later."
In short: The GPL says nothing about use, it (very clever) addresses distribution only.
For more information on the GPL, look here: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html
Thanks,
Jaap

Hi Group,
What is the latest license with which wire shark ships. (LGPLV3 or GPLV3)
There is a confusion on just using it. (Not modifying it)
The org is concerned that it is dangerous to use wireshark with its current licensing terms.
I am not convinced. Can anyone take time to clearly explain, so that i can take it back and explain about this.
Regards,
