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><command>systemd-cgtop</command> shows the top
control groups of the local Linux control group
hierarchy, ordered by their CPU, memory and disk I/O load. The
display is refreshed in regular intervals (by default
every 1s), similar in style to
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>top</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
<para>Resource usage is only accounted for control
groups in the relevant hierarchy, i.e. CPU usage is
only accounted for control groups in the
<literal>cpuacct</literal> hierarchy, memory usage
only for those in <literal>memory</literal> and disk
I/O usage for those in
<literal>blkio</literal>. <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
by default places all services in their own control
group in the <literal>cpuacct</literal> hierarchy, but
not in <literal>memory</literal> nor
<literal>blkio</literal>. If resource monitoring for
these resources is required it is recommended to add
<literal>blkio</literal> and <literal>memory</literal>
to the <varname>DefaultControllers=</varname> setting
in <filename>/etc/systemd/system.conf</filename> (see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.conf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for details). Alternatively, it is possible to enable
resource accounting individually for services, by
making use of the <varname>ControlGroup=</varname>
option in the unit files (See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.exec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for details).</para>
<para>To emphasize this: unless
<literal>blkio</literal> and <literal>memory</literal>
are enabled for the services in question with either
of the options suggested above no resource accounting
will be available for system services and the data shown
by <command>systemd-cgtop</command> will be
incomplete.</para>
