General guidance from repository metadata, not legal advice. How we score
From the README
ebpf-go is a pure Go library that provides utilities for loading, compiling, and debugging eBPF programs. It has minimal external dependencies and is intended to be used in long running processes.
See ebpf.io for complementary projects from the wider eBPF ecosystem.
Please take a look at our Getting Started guide.
Contributions are highly encouraged, as they highlight certain use cases of eBPF and the library, and help shape the future of the project.
The community actively monitors our GitHub Discussions page. Please search for existing threads before starting a new one. Refrain from opening issues on the bug tracker if you're just starting out or if you're not sure if something is a bug in the library code.
Alternatively, join the #ebpf-go channel on Slack if you have other questions regarding the project. Note that this channel is ephemeral and has its history erased past a certain point, which is less helpful for others running into the same problem later.
