IANAL... but...
As I understand things, if you write a script, you can put it under
whatever license (GPL, LGPL, Mozilla, BSD, Microsoft-Gestapo, etc) you
like. That (t)etheral is GPL'd means that if you make any changes to
the (t)ethereal code and want to release it, you need to send those
changes back to the team so they can decide whether or not to include it
in the next release.

Hi all,
I would like to get somethings clarified regarding GPL license.
The usage scenario is like this:
1) A TCL script would spawn a "tethereal" program using TCL's
'open' or 'exec' command.
2) The script would read the program's output and make some
decisions by doing string matching.
My question is: Should the calling TCL script be a GPL source?
Or can it be designated as proprietary?
