[systemd-devel] License of systemd API

[Olav Vitters]

At Hackers News, someone (seemingly involved with OpenRC) claims that
the systemd API is somehow licensed under the LGPL. Thus making it
impossible for OpenRC to implement the same API.
See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6446700 for the entire comments
and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6448366 for the specific claim
made by the user synchronise.

As far as I understood, an API cannot be under any license/copyright.
Just the method/code implementing it is.

Anyway, to avoid any misunderstandings, could a main developer clarify
if the systemd API is or is not under a copyright / license and if it
is, which?

Thanks.
