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.

<title>Description</title>

|
|
<para><command>systemd</command> uses configuration
|
|
files from the above directories to configure

kernel parameters during boot.</para>

<title>Configuration Format</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>The configuration files contain a list of
|
|
variable assignments, separated by newlines. Empty
|
|
lines and lines whose first non-whitespace character
|
|
is # or ; are ignored.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Note that both / and . are accepted as label
|
|
separators within sysctl variable
|
|
names. <literal>kernel.domainname=foo</literal> and
|
|
<literal>kernel/domainname=foo</literal> hence are
|
|
entirely equivalent.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Each configuration file shall be named in the
|
|
style of <filename><program>.conf</filename>.
|
|
Files in <filename>/run/</filename> override files
|
|
with the same name in <filename>/usr/lib/</filename>.
|
|
Files in <filename>/etc</filename> override files with
|
|
the same name in <filename>/run/</filename> and
|
|
<filename>/usr/lib/</filename>. Packages should
|
|
install their configuration files in
|
|
<filename>/usr/lib/</filename>. Files in
|
|
<filename>/etc/</filename> are reserved for the local
|
|
administrator, who may use this logic to override the
|
|
configuration installed by vendor packages. All
|
|
configuration files are sorted by their name in
|
|
alphabetical order, regardless in which of the
|
|
directories they reside, to guarantee that a specific
|
|
configuration file takes precedence over another file
|
|
with an alphabetically earlier name, if both files
|
|
contain the same variable setting.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If the administrator wants to disable a
|
|
configuration file supplied by the vendor the
|
|
recommended way is to place a symlink to
|
|
<filename>/dev/null</filename> in
|
|
<filename>/etc/sysctl.d</filename> carrying with the
|
|
same name.</para>
