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-firstboot</command> initializes the most
basic system settings interactively on the first boot, or
optionally non-interactively when a system image is created.
The service is started if <varname>ConditionFirstBoot=yes</varname>
is satisfied. This essentially means that <filename>/etc</filename>
is empty, see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for details.</para>
<para>The following settings may be set up:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>The system locale, more specifically the two
locale variables <varname>LANG=</varname> and
<varname>LC_MESSAGES</varname></para></listitem>
<listitem><para>The system keyboard map</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>The system time zone</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>The system host name</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>The machine ID of the system</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>The root user's password</para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>Each of the fields may either be queried interactively by
users, set non-interactively on the tool's command line, or be
copied from a host system that is used to set up the system
image.</para>
<para>If a setting is already initialized, it will not be
overwritten and the user will not be prompted for the
setting.</para>
<para>Note that this tool operates directly on the file system and
does not involve any running system services, unlike
<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>localectl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>timedatectl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
or
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>hostnamectl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
This allows <command>systemd-firstboot</command> to operate on
mounted but not booted disk images and in early boot. It is not
recommended to use <command>systemd-firstboot</command> on the
running system while it is up.</para>

<title>Options</title>
<para>The following options are understood:</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>--root=<replaceable>root</replaceable></option></term>
<listitem><para>Takes a directory path as an argument. All
paths will be prefixed with the given alternate
<replaceable>root</replaceable> path, including config search
paths. This is useful to operate on a system image mounted to
the specified directory instead of the host system itself.
</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>--locale=<replaceable>LOCALE</replaceable></option></term>
<term><option>--locale-messages=<replaceable>LOCALE</replaceable></option></term>
<listitem><para>Sets the system locale, more specifically the
<varname>LANG=</varname> and <varname>LC_MESSAGES</varname>
settings. The argument should be a valid locale identifier,
such as <literal>de_DE.UTF-8</literal>. This controls the
<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>locale.conf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
configuration file.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>--keymap=<replaceable>KEYMAP</replaceable></option></term>
<listitem><para>Sets the system keyboard layout. The argument should be a valid keyboard map,
such as <literal>de-latin1</literal>. This controls the <literal>KEYMAP</literal> entry in the
<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>vconsole.conf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
configuration file.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>--timezone=<replaceable>TIMEZONE</replaceable></option></term>
<listitem><para>Sets the system time zone. The argument should
be a valid time zone identifier, such as
<literal>Europe/Berlin</literal>. This controls the
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>localtime</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
symlink.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>--hostname=<replaceable>HOSTNAME</replaceable></option></term>
<listitem><para>Sets the system hostname. The argument should
be a host name, compatible with DNS. This controls the
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>hostname</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
configuration file.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>--machine-id=<replaceable>ID</replaceable></option></term>
<listitem><para>Sets the system's machine ID. This controls
the
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>machine-id</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
file.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>--root-password=<replaceable>PASSWORD</replaceable></option></term>
<term><option>--root-password-file=<replaceable>PATH</replaceable></option></term>
<listitem><para>Sets the password of the system's root user.
This creates a
<citerefentry project='die-net'><refentrytitle>shadow</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
file. This setting exists in two forms:
<option>--root-password=</option> accepts the password to set
directly on the command line, and
<option>--root-password-file=</option> reads it from a file.
Note that it is not recommended to specify passwords on the
command line, as other users might be able to see them simply
by invoking
<citerefentry project='die-net'><refentrytitle>ps</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para></listitem>

<term><option>--prompt-root-password</option></term>
<listitem><para>Prompt the user interactively for a specific
basic setting. Note that any explicit configuration settings
specified on the command line take precedence, and the user is
not prompted for it.</para></listitem>

<varlistentry>
