We finally got the OK from all contributors with non-trivial commits to relicense systemd from GPL2+ to LGPL2.1+. Some udev bits continue to be GPL2+ for now, but we are looking into relicensing them too, to allow free copy/paste of all code within systemd. The bits that used to be MIT continue to be MIT. The big benefit of the relicensing is that closed source code may now link against libsystemd-login.so and friends.

system. <varname>SystemKeepFree=</varname>

<varname>RuntimeKeepFree=</varname>

<varname>RuntimeMaxFileSize=</varname>

control how large individual journal

files may grow at maximum. This

influences the granularity in which

disk space is made available through

rotation, i.e. deletion of historic

values configured with

64K. Specify values in bytes or use

K, M, G, T, P, E as units for the

specified sizes. Note that size limits

are enforced synchronously to journal
