+<!-- This is the template document for GNU web pages.  We use
+     server side includes (#include) for common elements, for
+     instance, the very first line of the file.  If you're reading

+<!-- Instructions for adapting this boilerplate to a new project: -->
+
+<!-- 1. In the line above starting "Parent-Version:", remove the
+        "$Revision...$" from around the revision number,
+        leaving just Parent-Version: and the number. -->
+
+<!-- 2. Replace "baz" with the name of your project.
+        You should be able to do this with search and replace;
+        making sure that the search is case insensitive and
+        that the case of the replacement matches the case
+        of the string found. In Emacs, query-replace will do this
+        when case-fold-search and case-replace are both non-nil
+        and both search and replacement string are given in lower case. -->
+
+<!-- 3. Of course update the actual information according to your project,
+        such as mailing lists, project locations, and maintainer name.  -->
+
+<!-- 4. You can use the patch-from-parent script to semi-automate
+        merging future changes to the boilerplate with your file:

+<h2>How should governments promote free software?</h2>
+
+<ul>
+<li>Educational activities must teach only free software, and also teach
+the civic reasons for insisting on free software.</li>
+
+<li>State entities must migrate to free software, and must not
+install, or continue using, any nonfree software except under a
+temporary exception. Only one agency will have the power grant these
+temporary exceptions, and only when shown compelling reasons. This
+agency's goal should be to reduce the number of exceptions to zero.</li>
+
+<li>When a state entity pays for development of a computing solution,
+the contract must require it be delivered as free software and be
+capable of running on a 100% free environment. All contracts must
+require this, so that if the developer does not fulfill this
+requirement, it will be illegal to pay the developer.</li>
+
+<li>Whenever a state entity distributes software to the public,
+including Javascript or applets distributed by its web sites, it must
+be distributed as free software, and must be capable of running on a
+100% free environment. No exceptions to this should be allowed.</li>
+
+<li>State entity web sites and servers must be designed to work well
+with 100% free environments on the user's computer.</li>
+
+<li>State entities must use only file formats and communication
+protocols that are well supported by free software, preferably with
+published specifications.</li>
+
+<li>When a state entity buys computers, it must choose among the models
+that come closest, in their class, to being capable of running without
+any proprietary software.</li>
+
+<li>The state must invite other states (nationally and internationally)
+to join in negotiating, collectively, with manufacturers, so as to
+bring about the sale to the public (not solely to this state) of
+suitable hardware products, in all pertinent product areas, that
+require no proprietary software.</li>
+
+</ul>
