In my master thesis project I'm trying to create a native Aqua build of Ethereal for Mac OS X. I'm developing GUI in Cocoa and as a core I used etheral-0.10.13 source code (under GNU GPL). It will be a small subset of full functionality that Ethereal gives. I noticed that Ethereal is registered trademark of Ethereal, Inc. I would like to ask is it illegal if I call my project XEthereal?

Two things:
1) I'm afreid we can't help you because we recently renamed Ethereal to
Wireshark because of the rights to the Ethereal name.
2) It would be nice if the aqua port could become part of the standard
  Wireshark source repository.

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
