As for crediting your work: that's always a kind of chance you have to take with open-source. On the other hand, if you make it closed source, and thus provide the library which enables scripters to implement a sniffer in their scripts (just like Xniff), it would be very easly reconizeable that this library is used. And if they dare to not credit you in their script, there will always be volunteers to kick those people in the behind if you know what I mean
The Plus! scripting community is rather small compared to the billions of programmers on the planet and very concentrated on these forums (obviously). So, scripts which use libraries for others without crediting or something will be reconized rather quickly, especially if it uses something like a sniffer.
