If e.g., an [Address] section has an invalid setting, then
previously assigned settings in the section is freed, and
only later settings are stored. That may cause partially broken
section stored in Network object.
This makes if an invalid setting is found, then set 'invalid' flag
instead of freeing it. And invalid sections are dropped later by
network_verify().
This part of the copyright blurb stems from the GPL use recommendations:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html
The concept appears to originate in times where version control was per
file, instead of per tree, and was a way to glue the files together.
Ultimately, we nowadays don't live in that world anymore, and this
information is entirely useless anyway, as people are very welcome to
copy these files into any projects they like, and they shouldn't have to
change bits that are part of our copyright header for that.
hence, let's just get rid of this old cruft, and shorten our codebase a
bit.
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.
networkd currently silently accepts some strings as MAC addresses that it
probably shouldn't (like "ab💿ef:12:34:56:78" and "ab💿ef:12:3 4:56").
Add tests to MAC address parsing to ensure that we only accept valid MAC
addresses, and that we accept the three most common forms of MAC address
(colon-delimited hex, IEEE, and Cisco)
Several of these tests currently fail, but another commit in this series will
resolve them.
