2012-10-03vconsole: default to the kernel compiled-in fontTom Gundersen
No longer override the default kernel font if nothing is specified in vconsole.conf. The default kernel font[0] provides ISO-8859-1 and box characters. Users of Arabic, Cyrilic or Hebrew must set a different font manually as these character sets were provided by the old default font [1], but are not any longer. Rationale: * it is counter-intuitive that an empty vconsole.conf file is different from adding FONT=""; * the version of the default font shipped with Arch (which is the upstream one) behaves very badly during early boot[2] (which should admittedly be fixed in the font itself); * the kernel already supplies a default font, it seems reasonable to use that unless anything else is specified; * This also avoids a needless slow call to setfont; and * We don't want to work around problems in the kernel (in case the compiled-in font is not acceptable for whatever reason).

2012-04-12relicense to LGPLv2.1 (with exceptions)Lennart Poettering
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.
