![]() libbpf and bpftool have been dual-licensed to facilitate inclusion in software that is not compatible with GPL2-only (ie: Apache2), but the samples are still GPL2-only. Given these files are samples, they get naturally copied around. For example, it is the case for samples/bpf/bpf_insn.h which was copied into the systemd tree: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/main/src/shared/linux/bpf_insn.h Some more context on systemd's needs specifically: Most of systemd is (L)GPL2-or-later, which means there is no perceived incompatibility with Apache2 software and can thus be linked with OpenSSL 3.0. But given this GPL2-only header is included this is currently not possible. Dual-licensing this header solves this problem for us as we are scoping a move to OpenSSL 3.0, see: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2021-September/046882.html Dual-license this header as GPL-2.0-only OR BSD-2-Clause to follow the same licensing used by libbpf and bpftool: |
