No, I am not saying anything. I don't know enough about the details
of Wireshark plug-in/dissector development. I'm still trying to figure
out the changes _I_ need to make for my job. And all of my changes
(If I ever get them done, will be fed back up-stream,
because I believe (in general) with the GPL.)
All I did was point to the applicable sections in the license
and allow the code's author to interpret their own relevance.

Probably! Unfortunately, I don't know enough about Wireshark coding
yet to even be classified as 'dangerous'. :-)
