Hi Scott,

Several years ago you wrote a "mergecap" utility for Ethereal (now Wireshark); this work (according to the comments at the top of the file--which is now "merge.c") apparently was based on editcap.c .

No licensing information is included in this module (probably because none was in editcap.c). The normal assumption would be that it would be GPLv2+ (like the rest of Wireshark) but it would be good if you could confirm that this was your intention.

Thanks & regards,
-Jeff
