Hi,

logind.conf has a GPL header, as do things like [email protected].

If I needed to make changes to logind.conf, and wanted to bundle a modified logind.conf with a GPL-incompatible application, is that allowed? Similarlty, if I wanted to replace [email protected] with my own console handler, can I start with a modified [email protected] unit file to launch it and bundle that with said application?

Is each setting in those files copyrighted? Or is there some threshold, where if I re-use enough of those settings in my file, that the GPL applies? Are certain combinations of settings in logind.conf or such unit files copyrighted?

Does it even make sense to put these settings/config files under the GPL? If a copyright notice is required, might the FSF all-permissive licence be better for such files?
