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><command>systemd</command> uses
|
|
files from the above directories to configure
|
|
kernel modules to load during boot in a static list.
|
|
Each configuration file is named in the style of
|
|
<filename>/etc/modules-load.d/<program>.conf</filename>. Note
|
|
that it is usually a better idea to use the automatic
|
|
module loading by PCI ID, by DMI ID or similar
|
|
triggers configured in the kernel modules themselves
|
|
instead of relying on static configuration like
|
|
this.</para>

|
<title>Configuration Format</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>The configuration files should simply contain a
|
|
list of kernel module names to load, separated by
|
|
newlines. Empty lines and lines whose first
|
|
non-whitespace character is # or ; are ignored.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Each configuration file is named in the style of
|
|
<filename><program>.conf</filename>.
|
|
Files in <filename>/etc/</filename> overwrite
|
|
files with the same name in <filename>/usr/lib/</filename>.
|
|
Files in <filename>/run</filename> overwrite files with
|
|
the same name in <filename>/etc/</filename> and
|
|
<filename>/usr/lib/</filename>. Packages should install their
|
|
configuration files in <filename>/usr/lib/</filename>, files
|
|
in <filename>/etc/</filename> are reserved for the local
|
|
administration, which possibly decides to overwrite the
|
|
configurations installed from packages. All files are sorted
|
|
by filename in alphabetical order, regardless in which of the
|
|
directories they reside, to ensure that a specific
|
|
configuration file takes precedence over another file with
|
|
an alphabetically later name.</para>
