License Issuer: GARNET LABS INC. License Type: MIT-BR: MIT-Binary-Restricted License Registered Address: Ontario, Canada Copyright Year: 2025 Software: Jibril

Clarification Notice (March 26, 2025): We acknowledge feedback highlighting ambiguity around license coexistence (GPL/LGPL/MIT-BR) in Jibril’s current binary distribution. GPL and LGPL components fully retain their original licensing rights. We’re actively working on making this more transparent in our next release, with detailed documentation forthcoming. For immediate GPL/LGPL-related source requests, please email us at jibril@garnet.ai

Overview

This license governs the use of Jibril, distributed exclusively as a compiled binary. Jibril is a runtime security tool developed by Garnet Labs Inc., a corporation registered in Ontario, Canada and consists of 3 main projects: Jibril eBPF programs, Jibril eBPF loader and Jibril Agent. The agent is designed for internal use and deployment within user and customer environments across various scenarios, including:

  • CI/CD Security: Security integration into development pipelines to identify vulnerabilities prior to production.

  • Cloud Native Runtime: Security for cloud-native applications in containers, Kubernetes, and serverless environments.

  • Classic Runtime: Runtime security for traditional server environments, focusing on mission-critical applications.

  • IoT Security: Protection for connected devices and IoT infrastructure in resource-constrained environments.

Jibril is provided as-is, with no warranties or support obligations from Garnet Labs Inc. unless explicitly stipulated in a separate, signed contract. The binary distributes components of multiple projects from a single file.

Licensing Framework

Jibril's is composed of multiple projects which incorporate multiple licenses. The compiled binary is distributed under the MIT-Binary-Restricted License (MIT-BR). The following licenses apply to the projects that make part of Jibril:

  • eBPF objects: Licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPLv2 - see LICENSE.GPL) due to its interaction with the Linux kernel. Objects are uncompressed and loaded into the kernel.

  • Userland eBPF Loader: Licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPLv2.1) as it is statically linked with libbpf, an LGPLv2.1-licensed library.The libbpf can be dynamically linked and distributed separately as needed to comply with LGPLv2.1 terms.

  • Jibril Agent: Licensed under the MIT-Binary-Restricted License (MIT-BR) (see terms below).

The binary distribution consolidates multiple projects into a single executable, governed solely by the MIT-Binary-Restricted License (MIT-BR) for usage terms (see clarification notice on top of this page).
