2000-08-05 Aaron Weber <aaron@helixcode.com> * C/apx-gpl.sgml: New file. Contains contents of "COPYING", but marked up (probably not very well, but valid) as docbook (SGML). * C/evolution-guide.sgml: Subtle change to the legal notice: distinguished manual license from software license. Linked to apx-gpl.sgml above. * C/usage-calendar.sgml: I redid all the usage files. svn path=/trunk/; revision=4544
