To distribute Lua code that uses Wireshark's bindings under different terms would be a clear violation of the GPL.
I have re-release the code [1][2] under the terms of either the "Simplified BSD License" or the GPL. I had picked the BSD license because that is what was used by the OpenSim project and had thought that it was compatible with the GPL, but maybe not in this case. Anyways I now allow anyone to use the code under either license. 1. https://github.com/Neopallium/lludp_dissector 2. http://opensimulator.org/wiki/LLUDP_Dissector -- Robert G.
