From 758b8f5e04988e95a9493fe7882075e73c76a82d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gianmarco Lusvardi Date: Tue, 13 Feb 2024 23:05:46 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] bpf, scripts: Correct GPL license name [ Upstream commit e37243b65d528a8a9f8b9a57a43885f8e8dfc15c ] The bpf_doc script refers to the GPL as the "GNU Privacy License". I strongly suspect that the author wanted to refer to the GNU General Public License, under which the Linux kernel is released, as, to the best of my knowledge, there is no license named "GNU Privacy License". This patch corrects the license name in the script accordingly.

The format for that string is identical to the one in use for kernel modules (Dual licenses, such as "Dual BSD/GPL", may be used). Some helper functions are only accessible to -programs that are compatible with the GNU Privacy License (GPL). +programs that are compatible with the GNU General Public License (GNU GPL). In order to use such helpers, the eBPF program must be loaded with the correct license string passed (via **attr**) to the **bpf**\ () system call, and this
