I don't see any license on the code from
http://benoit.papillault.free.fr/usbsnoop/
so presumably there's no issue of license incompatibility with the BSD
license for libpcap/WinPcap.
However, he doesn't have a 2.0 version; where did you find the 2.0
version?

Most of them, probably. However, you'd either have to provide the
same link-layer header that's provided by the Linux code, and use the
same DLT_ value, or provide a different link-layer header, register a
different DLT_ value, and write your own "dissect_win32_usb()" routine
to dissect that header.

"Possible with Wireshark" in what sense? If that's the hardware for
which you're developing the SS7 support in WinPcap, it should be
possible to make it work - that's what you're doing.
