Plain-text form of licenses

[Daniel Macks]

Are the licenses available in plain-text form? Starting from

http://www.opensource.org/licenses/alphabetical

I can get to a .php link to a full webpage for each, but that gives
HTMLish formating of the license itself and also the opensource.org
banner and left-side navigation box. What I'd like is direct access to
*just* the text of the license, something I could download and stash
in a LICENSE (.txt not .html) in my package.

Try cut-n-paste.

That doesn't always work so well, for example the 'color="#000000">' in
the text of the MPL 1.1
(http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mozilla1.1.php). :-)

w3m -dump  http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mozilla1.1.php
or
lynx -dump http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mozilla1.1.php

give nice ascii representations.
You just need to trim start and end.

        cheers,

Fixed, thanks!  The HTML was okay, but Drupal couldn't parse it.
