@phanan Quite a lot of the things from this repository are basically taken from an older version of the .htaccess file provided by the Apache Server Configs project. So, I think it would be nice of you to make that obvious and give credit where credit is due (e.g.: there is no link to the Apache Server Configs project, and also some of the "Source" links don't even work, or point to a different project such as HTML5 Boilerplate, that is just another project that uses the Apache server configs).

Also, keep in mind that while you are free to copy and use the code, by not giving credit to the people that invested their free time to do the research to create the code, you make them less willing to do so in the future.

Thanks for your comment, and for pointing out the broken link. I've been trying to credit where due, but since information is distributed all over the interwebs, there can be missing pieces -- really sorry for that. I'll re-run through the document for a more thorough check. Meanwhile, if you spot anything else, much appreciate if you just send a PR this way. Cheers!
