Wireshark · Wireshark-users: [Wireshark-users] GPL and tshark

[Idan Miller <idan.miller@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone,

We are building a commercial application and wish to use tshark from it in the following way:

- wireshark will be installed sepearately from our application

- our application will use the command line interface to run tshark, giving it a captured cap file

- our application will parse the output and use the info from it

Will that be considered as breaking up the GPL?

As far as I understand, since executing tshark is running it "from arm's length", then this should be ok, is that correct?

Thanks,

Idan Miller
