Here's a brief list of information that might be useful to anyone
distributing a software package containing Ethereal:
1. The canonical location for every Ethereal source release is
http://www.ethereal.com/distribution/all-versions/, e.g.
http://www.ethereal.com/distribution/all-versions/ethereal-0.55.71.tar.bz2
If your packaging system downloads a copy of the Ethereal sources,
use this location.
2. The Ethereal web site URL is http://www.ethereal.com/ .
3. Ethereal is released under the GNU General Public License. Make sure
your package complies with this license, or we send in the marmots.
4. Ethereal and the "e" logo are registered trademarks of Ethereal, Inc.
5. Custom version information can be added by creating a file called
"version.conf". See make-version.pl for details. We recommend that
you use this to differentiate your package from official Ethereal
releases.
6. Ethereal icons can be found in the "image" directory of the Ethereal
sources. Larger versions of the logo can be found at
http://www.ethereal.com/~gerald/ethereal_logo/povray/ .
If you have a question not addressed here, send it to
ethereal-dev@ethereal.com.
