Lennart Poettering 818bf54632 tree-wide: drop 'This file is part of systemd' blurb
This part of the copyright blurb stems from the GPL use recommendations:

https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html

The concept appears to originate in times where version control was per
file, instead of per tree, and was a way to glue the files together.
Ultimately, we nowadays don't live in that world anymore, and this
information is entirely useless anyway, as people are very welcome to
copy these files into any projects they like, and they shouldn't have to
change bits that are part of our copyright header for that.

hence, let's just get rid of this old cruft, and shorten our codebase a
bit.

<title>Description</title>
<para><filename>systemd-time-wait-sync</filename> is a system service that delays the start of units that depend on
<filename>time-sync.target</filename> until the system time has been synchronized with an accurate time source by
<filename>systemd-timesyncd.service</filename>.</para>
<para><filename>systemd-timesyncd.service</filename> notifies on successful synchronization.
<filename>systemd-time-wait-sync</filename> also tries to detect when the kernel marks the time as synchronized,
but this detection is not reliable and is intended only as a fallback for other servies that can be used to
synchronize time (e.g., ntpd, chronyd).</para>
