drgn is currently licensed as GPLv3+. Part of the long term vision for
drgn is that other projects can use it as a library providing
programmatic interfaces for debugger functionality. A more permissive
license is better suited to this goal. We decided on LGPLv2.1+ as a good
balance between software freedom and permissiveness.
All contributors not employed by Meta were contacted via email and
consented to the license change. The only exception was the author of
commit c4fbf7e589 ("libdrgn: fix for compilation error"), who did not
respond. That commit reverted a single line of code to one originally
written by me in commit 640b1c011d ("libdrgn: embed DWARF index in
DWARF info cache").

The only relocation type I saw in Debian's kernel module debug info was
R_ARM_ABS32. R_ARM_REL32 is easy. The Linux kernel supports a bunch of
other ones that don't seem relevant to debug info.
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to test this because /proc/kcore doesn't
exist on Arm. This apparently goes all the way back to 2003:
