Hi,
If you want to discuss about how to write a dissector, how to fix a
bug, about adding a new feature or similar development issues this is
the right forum.

If you ever want your patch applied to the trunk so it is made
available to everyone with the rest of wireshark this is the right
place to post it.

But this is the wrong forum to discuss about distributing free
software exclusively for use within a company. Software Licensing is a
Legal Issue, the kind of issues you discuss with a lawyer not with a
group of developers.

PS. The folks at http://www.opensource.org have  a mailing list that
looks closer to be the right place to ask this kind of questions.

Hi,

I am looking for a model on how wireshark dissector/wiretap addons are
developed exclusively for use within a company. I understand GPL allows
that. I just want to know how it is developed, synced with wireshark open
source base etc?

Currently this is what I intend to do:
1. Get source of a released version of wireshark
2. Apply my patch and provide that installer internally.
3. Do (1) and (2) everytime a release happens to stay current.

Any other ideas?

thanks,
Ravi.
