Revision: 1.5
Committed: Tue Mar 23 20:22:27 2004 UTC (20 years, 7 months ago) by tdb
Branch: MAIN
Changes since 1.4: +1 -4 lines
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).

27     GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
28     Version 2, June 1991
29    
30     Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
31     59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
32     Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
33     of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
34    
35     Preamble
36    
37     The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
38     freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
39     License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
40     software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
41     General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
42     Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
43     using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
44     the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
45     your programs, too.
46    
47     When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
48     price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
49     have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
50     this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
51     if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
52     in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
53    
54     To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
55     anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
56     These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
57     distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
58    
59     For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
60     gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
61     you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
62     source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
63     rights.
64    
65     We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
66     (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
67     distribute and/or modify the software.
68    
69     Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
70     that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
71     software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
72     want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
73     that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
74     authors' reputations.
75    
76     Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
77     patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
78     program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
79     program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
80     patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
81    
82     The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
83     modification follow.
84    
85     GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
86     TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
87    
88     0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
89     a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
90     under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below,
91     refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
92     means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
93     that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
94     either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
95     language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
96     the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
97    
98     Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
99     covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
100     running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
101     is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
102     Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
103     Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
104    
105     1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
106     source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
107     conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
108     copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
109     notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
110     and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
111     along with the Program.
112    
113     You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
114     you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
115    
116     2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
117     of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
118     distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
119     above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
120    
121     a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
122     stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
123    
124     b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
125     whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
126     part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
127     parties under the terms of this License.
128    
129     c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
130     when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
131     interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
132     announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
133     notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
134     a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
135     these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
136     License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
137     does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
138     the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
139    
140     These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
141     identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
142     and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
143     themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
144     sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
145     distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
146     on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
147     this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
148     entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
149    
150     Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
151     your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
152     exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
153     collective works based on the Program.
154    
155     In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
156     with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
157     a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
158     the scope of this License.
159    
160     3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
161     under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
162     Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
163    
164     a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
165     source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
166     1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
167    
168     b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
169     years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
170     cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
171     machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
172     distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
173     customarily used for software interchange; or,
174    
175     c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
176     to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
177     allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
178     received the program in object code or executable form with such
179     an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
180    
181     The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
182     making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
183     code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
184     associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
185     control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
186     special exception, the source code distributed need not include
187     anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
188     form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
189     operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
190     itself accompanies the executable.
191    
192     If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
193     access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
194     access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
195     distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
196     compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
197    
198     4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
199     except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
200     otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
201     void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
202     However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
203     this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
204     parties remain in full compliance.
205    
206     5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
207     signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
208     distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
209     prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
210     modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
211     Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
212     all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
213     the Program or works based on it.
214    
215     6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
216     Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
217     original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
218     these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
219     restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
220     You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
221     this License.
222    
223     7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
224     infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
225     conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
226     otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
227     excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
228     distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
229     License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
230     may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
231     license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
232     all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
233     the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
234     refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
235    
236     If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
237     any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
238     apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
239     circumstances.
240    
241     It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
242     patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
243     such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
244     integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
245     implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
246     generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
247     through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
248     system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
249     to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
250     impose that choice.
251    
252     This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
253     be a consequence of the rest of this License.
254    
255     8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
256     certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
257     original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
258     may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
259     those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
260     countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
261     the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
262    
263     9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
264     of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
265     be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
266     address new problems or concerns.
267    
268     Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
269     specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
270     later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
271     either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
272     Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
273     this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
274     Foundation.
275    
276     10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
277     programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
278     to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
279     Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
280     make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
281     of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
282     of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
283    
284     NO WARRANTY
285    
286     11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
287     FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
288     OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
289     PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
290     OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
291     MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
292     TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
293     PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
294     REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
295    
296     12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
297     WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
298     REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
299     INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
300     OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
301     TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
302     YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
303     PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
304     POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
305    
306     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
307    
308     How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
309    
310     If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
311     possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
312     free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
313    
314     To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
315     to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
316     convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
317     the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
318    
319 tdb 1.2 &lt;one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.&gt;
320     Copyright (C) &lt;year&gt; &lt;name of author&gt;
321 tdb 1.1
322     This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
323     it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
324     the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
325     (at your option) any later version.
326    
327     This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
328     but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
329     MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
330     GNU General Public License for more details.
331    
332     You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
333     along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
334     Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
335    
336    
337     Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
338    
339     If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
340     when it starts in an interactive mode:
341    
342     Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
343     Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
344     This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
345     under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
346    
347     The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
348     parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may
349     be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
350     mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
351    
352     You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
353     school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
354     necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
355    
356     Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
357     `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.

361    
362     This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
363     proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may
364     consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
365     library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General
366     Public License instead of this License.
