I guess you will need an account for that, as I needed one to be able
to mail the store owner about the following quote:
"NOTICE: This auction is in full compliance with all eBay rules and
regulations. No copyrights have been violated with this auction. I am
authorized reseller for this software. A copy of my Software Distribution
License is available upon request."
I think this quote on the selling page is not so legal, as there are
no authorized resellers for Wireshark, are there?
Also I doubt whether selling GPL software is in full compliance with
all eBay rules and regulations. At least I think it shouldn't be ;-)
Cheers,
Sake
PS I did not send the mail, as I do not want to create an eBay account
for it. I'd still be very interested to see their Authorized WS
reseller license though...
