Description

See https://github.com/projectcalico/calico/blob/4ac717de1f4032ddce7112f74d2becc4062c9c49/felix/bpf-apache/filter.c#L102

We are detecting OK... but we could do even better, like handling these as special tags or as packages:

> char ____license[] __attribute__((section("license"))) = "Apache-2.0";
