could the wireshark analyzer be used in the textbook cd

0

hello,my tutor wrote a textbook about network protocol analysis, and the book had network packet capture experiments. The wireshark is free of charge and open-source, so we planned to include the software in the textbook CD, and the CD is a gift with the book. Is this legitimate?

The license of Wireshark is GPL V2 and partly GPL V3. As long as you adhere to these licenses you may modify, copy and distribute Wireshark, which includes your textbook CD. Please consult the GPL for detailed information.
