For what it's worth, it has worked out well for me.  One up-front fee for the
library, then it just works from there on.  Customers/users do not need to know
or care that winpcap is being used.

If you want to go the free way, you can hack an installer (similar to the way
ethereal at least used to work) to call the winpcap installer, so to the customer,
it is similar to having a bundled unit.)
