From 5430f7f2bc7330f3088b894166bf3524a067e3d8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lennart Poettering Date: Thu, 12 Apr 2012 00:20:58 +0200 Subject: 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. --- README | 10 +++++++--- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) (limited to 'README') diff --git a/README b/README index 6b0eb51ecd..2467b1e03e 100644 --- a/README +++ b/README @@ -24,11 +24,15 @@ BUG REPORTS: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=systemd AUTHOR: - Lennart Poettering with major support from Kay Sievers + Lennart Poettering + Kay Sievers + ...and many others LICENSE: - GPLv2+ for all code, except sd-daemon.[ch] and - sd-readahead.[ch] which are MIT + LGPLv2.1+ for all code + - except sd-daemon.[ch] and sd-readahead.[ch] which are MIT + - except src/udev/ which is GPLv2.0+, excluding + src/udev/libudev* which is LGPLv2.1+ REQUIREMENTS: Linux kernel >= 2.6.39 -- cgit v1.2.1
