I've been thinking of using Sharppcap with C# as an alternative to PcapPlusPlus for making a cross platform sniffing tool, but I don't want the user to install .NET runtime in order to use the tool. That's why I'd like it to AOT compile. Does Sharppcap support this? |

Windows or Linux? |
|
both, + macos |

After reading https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/deploying/ , let me rephrase: is it possible to use sharppcap in AOT compile mode OR self containing mode, meaning the .NET runtime is shipped with the produced binary? |
|
please keep in mind that if you use self-contained app, the LGPL license of sharppcap, requires that the resulting binary is also distributed under LGPL. |
|
oh ok, I'll keep that in mind |

Didn’t we talk about relicensing at one point? Thoughts on the topic Ayoub?

yes, but that was for packetnet, not sharppcap, it would take a bit of effort to get every major contributor email and contact them about changing the license, but I don't expect any opposition. |
|
For my sake, as one potential user of this (awesome) lib bear in mind, that would make things a lot easier if it was MIT licensed for instance |
currently it works in Windows, but not in Linux (due to different library name in each platform), there is PR #448, that makes it work in Linux, but it breaks Windows support.
