Hi Ronnie,

What drawbacks do you see in changing the plugin license ? I haven't been able
to make out what your worries are. Can you repeat them to me one more time ?

As to the real benefits for changing it, I see :
   - Ethereal gets a bunch of decoders for proprietary protocols which trumps
     over other commercially available analyzers.
   - Decoders such as H.323 developed by Andrea can be used with Ethereal.

Thanks,

Dinesh
