Dear Administrator,

Thank you for your reply. However, the suggested link does not provide any information regarding the use of Wireshark output in a commercial book. It only states that Wireshark is distributed under the GPLv2 license, which generally indicates that the output generated by GPLv2-licensed programs can be used without restriction.

Could you please clarify whether there are any specific limitations or considerations in this case?

I think you should contact the Wireshark Foundation about this. Contact info is at the bottom of this page.

(I agree the FAQ is not clear about this.)
