What portion are you referring to? All of Ethereal is free software
("free as in beer", i.e. it costs nothing, and "free as in speech", i.e.
you can get the source and can modify it and give the modified software
away - as long as you allow the recipient to get all the source to the
version you gave them, and don't restrict what the recipient can do with
the software, including giving away the software, including its source).

I'm not sure what you mean by "that review & decipher the traces after
we capture them"; as Ethereal is free software, there is no restriction
on your use of it to decipher traces.
