Am I allowed to use reporter/elfwriter/elfwriter.go as an MIT licensed file?

That's it, I'd really appreciate it if the parca-dev team would allow me to license this file from them. I want to use it in my 3BSD-licensed project.

The original file https://github.com/go-delve/delve/blob/master/pkg/elfwriter/writer.go was MIT licensed, and I don't really understand why it was downgraded to a restrictive license, but would be so kind as to grant me permission to use part of the file? I want to keep the comments, and I only need the parts related to adding a section to an ELF file.

I believe this was a mistake when we rearchitected/reorganized the repo. Would you mind opening a PR to change the license headers for those files? I can accept those PRs and you can then take that as permission to use that code under MIT license.

Here's the pull: https://github.com/parca-dev/parca-agent/pull/3016

Consider also relicensing as MIT or even better, ISC?

I would welcome the change, as it would mean I could use all of the packages/libraries of parca-agent in my programs
