Lennart Poettering 5430f7f2bc relicense to LGPLv2.1 (with exceptions)
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>Snapshot units are not configured via unit
configuration files. Nonetheless they are named
similar to filenames. A unit name whose name ends in
<filename>.snapshot</filename> refers to a dynamic
snapshot of the systemd runtime state.</para>
<para>Snapshots are not configured on disk but created
dynamically via <command>systemctl snapshot</command>
(see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for details) or an equivalent command. When created,
they will automatically get dependencies on the
currently activated units. They act as saved
runtime state of the systemd manager. Later on, the
user may choose to return to the saved state via
<command>systemctl isolate</command>. They are
useful to roll back to a defined state after
temporarily starting/stopping services or
similar.</para>
