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.

|
<para>The <filename>/etc/hostname</filename> file
|
|
configures the name of the local system that is set
|
|
during boot, with the
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sethostname</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
system call. It should contain a single
|
|
newline-terminated host name string. The
|
|
host name may be a free-form string up to 64 characters
|
|
in length, however it is recommended that it consists
|
|
only of 7bit ASCII lower-case characters and no spaces or dots,
|
|
and limits itself to the format allowed for DNS domain
|
|
name labels, even though this is not a
|
|
strict requirement.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Depending on the operating system other
|
|
configuration files might be checked for configuration
|
|
of the host name as well, however only as fallback.</para>
