Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 11a1589223 tree-wide: drop license boilerplate
Files which are installed as-is (any .service and other unit files, .conf
files, .policy files, etc), are left as is. My assumption is that SPDX
identifiers are not yet that well known, so it's better to retain the
extended header to avoid any doubt.

I also kept any copyright lines. We can probably remove them, but it'd nice to
obtain explicit acks from all involved authors before doing that.

<title>Description</title>
<para><command>systemd-delta</command> may be used to identify and
compare configuration files that override other configuration
files. Files in <filename>/etc</filename> have highest priority,
files in <filename>/run</filename> have the second highest
priority, …, files in <filename>/usr/lib</filename> have lowest
priority. Files in a directory with higher priority override files
with the same name in directories of lower priority. In addition,
certain configuration files can have <literal>.d</literal>
directories which contain "drop-in" files with configuration
snippets which augment the main configuration file. "Drop-in"
files can be overridden in the same way by placing files with the
same name in a directory of higher priority (except that, in case
of "drop-in" files, both the "drop-in" file name and the name of
the containing directory, which corresponds to the name of the
main configuration file, must match). For a fuller explanation,
see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
</para>
<para>The command line argument will be split into a prefix and a
suffix. Either is optional. The prefix must be one of the
directories containing configuration files
(<filename>/etc</filename>, <filename>/run</filename>,
<filename>/usr/lib</filename>, …). If it is given, only
overriding files contained in this directory will be shown.
Otherwise, all overriding files will be shown. The suffix must be
a name of a subdirectory containing configuration files like
<filename>tmpfiles.d</filename>, <filename>sysctl.d</filename> or
<filename>systemd/system</filename>. If it is given, only
configuration files in this subdirectory (across all configuration
paths) will be analyzed. Otherwise, all configuration files will
be analyzed. If the command line argument is not given at all, all
configuration files will be analyzed. See below for some
examples.</para>
