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>The <filename>/etc/timezone</filename> file
configures the system-wide time zone of the local
system that is used by applications for presentation
to the user. It should contain a single
newline-terminated line consisting of a time zone
identifier such as
<literal>Europe/Berlin</literal>. The file
<filename>/etc/localtime</filename> corresponds with
<filename>/etc/timezone</filename> and contains the
binary time zone data for the time zone. These files
should always be changed simultaneously and kept in
sync.</para>
<para>The time zone may be overridden for individual
programs by using the TZ environment variable. See
