+This text consists of three parts:
+
+Part I: Some remarks regarding the license given in
+Part II: The actual license that covers Wireshark.
+Part III: Other applicable licenses.
+
+When in doubt: Part II/III is the legally binding part, Part I is just
+there to make it easier for people that are not familiar with the GPLv2.
+
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Part I:
+
+Wireshark is distributed under the GNU GPLv2. There are no restrictions
+on its use. There are restrictions on its distribution in source or
+binary form.
+
+Most parts of Wireshark are covered by a "GPL version 2 or later" license.
+Some files are covered by different licenses that are compatible with
+the GPLv2.
+
+As a notable exception the pidl utility at tools/pidl is covered by a
+"GPL version 3 or later" license. Note that only the tool itself
+is covered by this license, not the source code generated by it. The
+pidl authors do not consider generated code a derived work of pidl.
+
+Parts of Wireshark can be built and distributed as libraries. These
+parts are still covered by the GPL, and NOT by the Lesser General Public
+License or any other license.
+
+If you integrate all or part of Wireshark into your own application, then
+that application must be released under a license compatible with the GPL.
+
+The full text of the GNU GPL and the other applicable licenses follows.
