I think what is meant here is that a protocol dissector code might actually
be derived from (read: distilled from) the actual proprietary protocol
implementation, and this internal business is the one a company may want to
protect. One solution is to provide dissector code which does not rely upon
(read: and therefore hides) the protocol implementation, which of course
inevitably results in people reinventing the wheel... as is often a
company's intention when patenting an idea :^/
