Log Message:
Move to .xhtml files instead of .shtml. They still use SSI.

We're now validating as XHTML 1.1 (or, at least we will be when I've tested
every page of the site to make sure it validates). I've put the necessary
frigs in the webserver so it returns the content-type as text/html if the
web browser doesn't make any claims to know about application/xhtml+xml
(which is the content type defined by the XHTML standards).

30     GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
31     Version 2, June 1991
32    
33     Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
34     59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
35     Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
36     of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
37    
38     Preamble
39    
40     The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
41     freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
42     License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
43     software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
44     General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
45     Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
46     using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
47     the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
48     your programs, too.
49    
50     When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
51     price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
52     have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
53     this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
54     if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
55     in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
56    
57     To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
58     anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
59     These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
60     distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
61    
62     For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
63     gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
64     you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
65     source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
66     rights.
67    
68     We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
69     (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
70     distribute and/or modify the software.
71    
72     Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
73     that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
74     software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
75     want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
76     that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
77     authors' reputations.
78    
79     Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
80     patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
81     program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
82     program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
83     patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
84    
85     The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
86     modification follow.
87    
88     GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
89     TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
90    
91     0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
92     a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
93     under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below,
94     refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
95     means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
96     that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
97     either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
98     language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
99     the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
100    
101     Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
102     covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
103     running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
104     is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
105     Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
106     Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
107    
108     1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
109     source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
110     conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
111     copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
112     notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
113     and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
114     along with the Program.
115    
116     You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
117     you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
118    
119     2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
120     of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
121     distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
122     above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
123    
124     a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
125     stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
126    
127     b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
128     whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
129     part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
130     parties under the terms of this License.
131    
132     c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
133     when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
134     interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
135     announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
136     notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
137     a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
138     these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
139     License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
140     does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
141     the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
142    
143     These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
144     identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
145     and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
146     themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
147     sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
148     distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
149     on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
150     this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
151     entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
152    
153     Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
154     your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
155     exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
156     collective works based on the Program.
157    
158     In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
159     with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
160     a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
161     the scope of this License.
162    
163     3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
164     under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
165     Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
166    
167     a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
168     source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
169     1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
170    
171     b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
172     years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
173     cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
174     machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
175     distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
176     customarily used for software interchange; or,
177    
178     c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
179     to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
180     allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
181     received the program in object code or executable form with such
182     an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
183    
184     The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
185     making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
186     code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
187     associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
188     control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
189     special exception, the source code distributed need not include
190     anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
191     form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
192     operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
193     itself accompanies the executable.
194    
195     If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
196     access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
197     access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
198     distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
199     compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
200    
201     4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
202     except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
203     otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
204     void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
205     However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
206     this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
207     parties remain in full compliance.
208    
209     5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
210     signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
211     distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
212     prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
213     modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
214     Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
215     all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
216     the Program or works based on it.
217    
218     6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
219     Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
220     original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
221     these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
222     restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
223     You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
224     this License.
225    
226     7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
227     infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
228     conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
229     otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
230     excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
231     distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
232     License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
233     may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
234     license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
235     all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
236     the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
237     refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
238    
239     If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
240     any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
241     apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
242     circumstances.
243    
244     It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
245     patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
246     such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
247     integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
248     implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
249     generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
250     through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
251     system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
252     to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
253     impose that choice.
254    
255     This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
256     be a consequence of the rest of this License.
257    
258     8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
259     certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
260     original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
261     may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
262     those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
263     countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
264     the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
265    
266     9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
267     of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
268     be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
269     address new problems or concerns.
270    
271     Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
272     specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
273     later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
274     either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
275     Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
276     this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
277     Foundation.
278    
279     10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
280     programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
281     to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
282     Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
283     make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
284     of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
285     of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
286    
287     NO WARRANTY
288    
289     11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
290     FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
291     OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
292     PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
293     OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
294     MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
295     TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
296     PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
297     REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
298    
299     12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
300     WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
301     REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
302     INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
303     OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
304     TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
305     YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
306     PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
307     POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
308    
309     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
310    
311     How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
312    
313     If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
314     possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
315     free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
316    
317     To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
318     to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
319     convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
320     the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
321    
322 tdb 1.2 &lt;one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.&gt;
323     Copyright (C) &lt;year&gt; &lt;name of author&gt;
324 tdb 1.1
325     This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
326     it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
327     the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
328     (at your option) any later version.
329    
330     This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
331     but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
332     MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
333     GNU General Public License for more details.
334    
335     You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
336     along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
337     Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
338    
339    
340     Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
341    
342     If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
343     when it starts in an interactive mode:
344    
345     Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
346     Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
347     This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
348     under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
349    
350     The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
351     parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may
352     be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
353     mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
354    
355     You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
356     school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
357     necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
358    
359     Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
360     `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.

364    
365     This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
366     proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may
367     consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
368     library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General
369     Public License instead of this License.
