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.

<para><command>localectl</command> may be used to query and change

the system locale and keyboard layout settings. It communicates with
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-localed</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
to modify files such as <filename>/etc/locale.conf</filename> and

<filename>/etc/vconsole.conf</filename>.</para>

|
|
|
<para>The system locale controls the language settings of system
|
|
services and of the UI before the user logs in, such as the
|
|
display manager, as well as the default for users after
|
|
login.</para>
|
|

<para>The keyboard settings control the keyboard layout used on
|
|
the text console and of the graphical UI before the user logs in,

such as the display manager, as well as the default for users
|

after login.</para>
|
|

<para>Note that the changes performed using this tool might require

the initramfs to be rebuilt to take effect during early system boot.

The initramfs is not rebuilt automatically by <filename>localectl</filename>.
