It actually depends. In this case, from what I can see, the Apache-2.0 code is
integrated as part of the GPL codebase, meaning they are not freestanding and
the integration makes in not redistributable.

Also, the gobpf license tag is not correct. It's "GPL-2.0-only WITH
Linux-syscall-note" because it includes a syscall interface header, and the
syscall note is what makes it compatible.
