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>Notes</title>
<para>This function is provided by the reference
implementation of APIs for new-style daemons and
distributed with the systemd package. The algorithm it
implements is simple, and can easily be reimplemented
in daemons if it is important to support this
interface without using the reference
implementation.</para>
<para>Internally, this function checks whether the
<filename>/sys/fs/cgroup/systemd</filename> virtual file
system is mounted, by comparing the st_dev value of
the <function>stat()</function> data of
<filename>/sys/fs/cgroup</filename> and
<filename>/sys/fs/cgroup/systemd</filename>.</para>
<para>For details about the algorithm check the
liberally licensed reference implementation sources:
<ulink url="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/plain/src/sd-daemon.c"/>
resp. <ulink
url="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/plain/src/systemd/sd-daemon.h"/></para>
<para><function>sd_booted()</function> is implemented
in the reference implementation's
<filename>sd-daemon.c</filename> and
<filename>sd-daemon.h</filename> files. These
interfaces are available as shared library, which can
be compiled and linked to with the
<literal>libsystemd-daemon</literal>
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>pkg-config</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
file. Alternatively, applications consuming these APIs
may copy the implementation into their source
tree. For more details about the reference
implementation see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_daemon</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
<para>If the reference implementation is used as
drop-in files and -DDISABLE_SYSTEMD is set during
compilation this function will always return 0 and
otherwise become a NOP.</para>
