Didn't we agree to have docs under Documentation/bpf/libbpf? That
should make it clear that each is libbpf-specific and probably would
make copying/syncing easier. Plus it will be a libbpf sub-section in
the docs, no?

Should we use dual-license LGPL-2.1 OR BSD-2-Clause like the rest of libbpf?

I don't think we can just easily re-license without asking original
contributor. But see above, I think we should stick to the
dual-license to stay consistent with libbpf sources?
