+The 'perf' tool is dynamically linked with the Python interpreter,
+which is itself dynamically linked with OpenSSL, which is not
+GPL-compatible.  However, since perf itself does not link with or use
+OpenSSL, we believe that this indirect linking does not require
+additional permissions beyond the GPL.
