License question - Invoking TShark from commercial program

["Lior Kaduri" <lior.kaduri () venotion com>]

Hello,

 

This point is a little vague in the GPL license:

 

Does the Wireshark GPL license permit invoking TShark from within a
commercial product? For example, to read the contents of a previously
generated .pcap file?

To be specific - If my program invokes TShark (e.g. by command line) and
processes its output, must my program become GPL?

 

Thanks,
