-   Q 1.2: What protocols are currently supported?
+   Q 1.2: How much does Ethereal cost?
+
+   A: Ethereal is "free software"; you can download it without paying any
+   license fee. The version of Ethereal you download isn't a "demo"
+   version, with limitations not present in a "full" version; it is the
+   full version.
+
+   The license under which Ethereal is issued is the GNU General Public
+   License. See the GNU GPL FAQ for some more information.
+
+   Q 1.3: Can I use Ethereal commercially?
+
+   A: Yes, if, for example, you mean "I work for a commercial
+   organization; can I use Ethereal to capture and analyze network
+   traffic in our company's networks or in our customer's networks?"
+
+   If you mean "Can I use Ethereal as part of my commercial product?",
+   see the next entry in the FAQ.
+
+   Q 1.4: Can I use Ethereal as part of my commercial product?
+
+   A: As noted, Ethereal is licended under the GNU General Public
+   License. The GPL imposes conditions on your use of GPL'ed code in your
+   own products; you cannot, for example, make a "derived work" from
+   Ethereal, by making modifications to it, and then sell the resulting
+   derived work and not allow recipients to give away the resulting work.
+   You must also make the changes you've made to the Ethereal source
+   available to all recipients of your modified version; those changes
+   must also be licensed under the terms of the GPL. See the GPL FAQ for
+   more details; in particular, note the answer to the question about
+   modifying a GPLed program and selling it commercially, and the
+   question about linking GPLed code with other code to make a
+   proprietary program.
+
+   You can combine a GPLed program such as Ethereal and a commercial
+   program as long as they communicate "at arm's length", as per this
+   item in the GPL FAQ.
+
+   Q 1.5: What protocols are currently supported?
 
-   A: There are currently 518 supported protocols and media, listed
