Hello,

 

This point is a little vague in the GPL license:

 

Does the Wireshark GPL license permit invoking TShark from within a commercial product? For example, to read the contents of a previously generated .pcap file?

To be specific - If my program invokes TShark (e.g. by command line) and processes its output, must my program become GPL?

 

Thanks,
