Re: [ipwave] draft-ietf-ipwave-ipv6-over-80211ocb-00 wireshark dissectors (not) free for 802.11p and IEEE WAVE messages

Hi Alex,

FYI..

Wireshark is an open source software project, and is released under the GNU
General Public License <https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html> (GPL).
You can freely use Wireshark on any number of computers you like, without
worrying about license keys or fees or such. In addition, all source code
is freely available under the GPL. Because of that, it is very easy for
people to add new protocols to Wireshark, either as plugins, or built into
the source, and they often do!

Best regards
Nabil Benamar
