The "outcome" was that the two licenses were incompatible, but that 
there were a couple of ways to solve this. I can't remember though, 
what they were.

Someone already sent me a couple of patches to solve this, but the 
Linux machine I have access to refuses to run the supplied configure 
script. Really strange, rerunning autoconf in the correct directory 
doesn't help. The "normal" ethereal configure scripts work correctly.

The errors I'm getting are really weird (to me):

[ramdyne@dhcp-server ethereal_h323]$ ./configure
loading cache ./config.cache
: command not found
: command not found
: command not found
: command not found
checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
'hecking whether build environment is sane... sleep: invalid time interval `1
./configure: syntax error near unexpected token `&'
'/configure: ./configure: line 675: `      && test "$*" != "X conftestfile $srcdir/configure"; then
[ramdyne@dhcp-server ethereal_h323]$ 

I am working on it (slowly), but I don't have the time to dive into 
it, for a day or so,
