The copyright and GPL header is included in the 4 patches I have sent before.

The Component Status Protocol is part of the rsplib library itself, i.e. every 
program using the Open Source rsplib library to provide RSerPool-based 
services will also send CSP status packets when the appropriate command line 
options are provided.

The three other dissectors are for testing and demonstration purposes. I think 
they are also quite useful: at the moment, the rsplib library is the only 
Open Source implementation of the complete RSerPool framework. That is, most 
users wanting to play with RSerPool try these test applications first. In 
this case, it would be very nice to have Ethereal support for the packets 
types out of the box, instead of having to check the sources out and apply 
patches first.
