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.

is orthogonal: units may be enabled

hooks the unit into various suggested

places (for example, so that the unit

when a particular kind of hardware is

the daemon process (in case of service

of socket units), and so

on.</para>
