The reason the code isnt included is because it seems like the actual algorithm is patented by Mitsubishi. This was our source for this: http://www.etsi.org/WebSite/OurServices/Algorithms/3gppalgorithms.aspx
I only see claims that this code is patented: Can anyone please provide references to the actual patents? The reason why I keep asking this is that looking at the patent(s) might give us a clue whether these patents actually apply to wireshark - maybe they only apply to UMTS etc because of their wording. E.g. in one case I have seen, the patent was limited to the sending side.
And as far as i can tell you need permission in order to implement it, but im not a lawyer.
No, you don't need a license to *implement* a patented algorithm, you need a license to *use (run)* it.
About the copyright part, we have our own implementation (KASUMI and F8 are fairly easy to implement), but the current svn code is adapted so that people can put ETSIs example code or something else easily into wireshark themselves.
OK, that's good news. So the only thing left to do is to convince you (as a placeholder for the people who get to make the decision) that my argument above is correct and relevant :-/ Ciao Jörg -- Joerg Mayer <jmayer () loplof de> We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
