Hello,

I would like to know if we conform to GPL norms if Wireshark is invoked from our commercial application.

Here’s what we are planning to do:

 

  1. Install our application on customer’s machine.
  2. Customer’s machine should have Wireshark installed on it.
  3. Our application would invoke Wireshark executable and have the output stored in some file.

Thanking you.

Regards,

Pavan Gupta
