License. See the GNU GPL FAQ for some more information.
Q 1.2: How much does Ethereal cost?
A: Ethereal is "free software"; you can download it without paying any
license fee. The version of Ethereal you download isn't a "demo" version,
with limitations not present in a "full" version; it is the full version.
The license under which Ethereal is issued is the GNU General Public
License. See the GNU GPL FAQ for some more information.
SUMMARY : Since you're distributing as part of your magazine, there are no
problems. GO AHEAD.
I believe (correct me somebody, if I'm wrong). You DO NOT have to take
anyone's permission.
But it is nice of you to let the developers/users that you're distributing
it.
P.S : I am a user like you -- I'm just sharing my understanding of the GPL
license.

Subject: [Ethereal-users] Asking for publishing magazine
Hello.
I am KIKUCHI SYUNSUKE who is the Magazine journalist in Japan.
I am writing you to obtain your approval to record your software
applications onto our supplementary CD-ROMs, which will come with the
December. issue of "NET-RUNNER".
"NET-RUNNER" is monthly magazine, which has mainly carried network -related
information(for example, they are the news of the network technology, a
useful website, introduction of a tool, and so on). There are 200,000
readers or more in Japan. We provide supplementary CD-ROMs to our readersby
gathering applications necessary for use of the Internet. Included in our
CD-ROMs are, for example, browser
software, plug-in software, mail-chat software, utilities, provider
-signed-up software.
We think that we only have to become help of the user by whom this magazine
enjoys the Internet or more and downloading. If the software which you open
to the public becomes help of such a user, it is not gladder than this.
Product:Ethereal Network Analyzer
Media:CD-ROM for inclusion in NET-RUNNER Magazine only.
We would appreciate it very much if you could get back to me by
October. 14th due to our schedule for the production of our CD-ROMs.
I am sorry for the short notice.
We look forward to hearing from you soon.
Best regards.
