I'm not interested in receiving damages money, although I would like to see 
more than just an apology given the fairly deliberate actions that ClearSight 
appears to be conducting.

I'm not willing to relicense my contributions / bug-fixes for Ethereal under a 
non-GPL license. If you want to relicense Ethereal, all of my stuff has to 
come out.

My preferred outcome is open sourcing of any product containing or embedding 
GPL'd code. Whether ClearSight continues to redistribute doesn't really worry 
me, as long as the redistribution is fully GPL compliant.
