[License-discuss] Text version issue on licenses pages

Hello license-discuss,

In the process of testing a license database tool [1], we noticed that OSI
site serves the few licenses with plaintext versions available, as text/html.
Please see:
http://opensource.org/licenses/cddl1.txt
http://opensource.org/licenses/cpl1.0.txt
http://opensource.org/licenses/eclipse-1.0.txt

There are very few of them and it is very useful for license documentation,
authoring/packaging and analysis tools, to have canonical plaintext versions.
I suppose that the expected result of these links would be simply serving
text/plain.

Thank you for considering it!
