Well, as far as I know, most of the "sniffer" type network protocol
analyzers have licensed the packet decodes from Novell, and in
getting the thing installed, you've agreed to their license terms,
which include the sublicense terms from Novell. And these explicitly
disallow using the information provided for reverse engineering
things.
