So what restrictions are there when you have a Wireshark plugin that contains proprietary information (which can be of the do not export variety) from the govt or customer and they do *not* want that information released to the public, since Wireshark can be used as a tool to visualize and analyze these private kinds of protocols? If some of that implementation leaks into the Wireshark application (like hiding all of the unnecessary protocol cruft to make it simpler for user to use), what are the implications?
