The important issue is, (quoted from rejection message):
First - its not all GPL, there are files with LGPL and BSD style
license (at least those two) also. You need to list all such
differences, but to find every difference is your task, i stopped
after I found 3.
You will find below the future copyright file; as you will see by the
end of it, there are a few files where there are not enough info for
the moment, Gerald Combs sent a mail yesterday to wireshark-dev and
ethereal-dev to resolve those.
Regards,
Frederic
