Oh ?

no particular reason. key helper bpf_probe_read() is gpl, so all
bpf for tracing progs have to be gpl.
If you feel strongly about it, I can change it.

All the perf symbols are export GPL, so I suppose this should be true.

ok. will send a patch.


Can we (or have we already) setup some rules for licensing? Which part
should be GPL? Who has the response to decide it?

Thank you.
