wireshark dissectors (not) free for 802.11p and IEEE WAVE messages

Hello IPWAVErs,

We received a warning about the statement qualifying wireshark being
free [of charge].  I propose to remove the following text:

old:
> The popular wireshark network protocol analyzer is a free software
> tool for Windows and Unix.  It includes a dissector for 802.11p
> features along with all other 802.11 features (i.e. it displays these
> features in a human-readable format).

As a side note, I suggest to ones interested in reading 802.11-OCB
captures to still consider the widely available and popular wireshark
tool, and the freely available dissectors for 802.11-OCB aka 802.11p.
The added-value that may be charged for some enhanced wireshark may lie
in other dissectors like IEEE WAVE messages, or some other traffic
analysis features, but not in the dissection of basic 802.11-OCB fields
described in this draft.

Alex
