History
Laid out on the farm Klippoortjie in 1887 and proclaimed a town in 1908, it was named after the owner, F C Els. It was administered by a health committee from 1908 and by a village council from 1938. Municipal status was achieved in October 1957. It almost became the capital of the goldfields instead of Johannesburg.[2]

gollark: > All important site functions work correctly (though may not look as nice) when the user disables execution of JavaScript and other code sent by the site. (A0)I think they *mostly* do.> Server code released as free software. (A1)Yes.> Encourages use of GPL 3-or-later as preferred option. (A2)> Offers use of AGPL 3-or-later as an option. (A3)> Does not permit nonfree licenses (or lack of license) for works for practical use. (A4)See above. Although not ALLOWING licenses like that would be very not free.> Does not recommend services that are SaaSS. (A5)Yes.> Says “free software,” not “open source.” (A6)Don't know if it says either.> Clearly endorses the Free Software Movement's ideas of freedom. (A7)No.> Avoids saying “Linux” without “GNU” when referring to GNU/Linux. (A8)It says neither.> Insists that each nontrivial file in a package clearly and unambiguously state how it is licensed. (A9)No, and this is stupid.
gollark: > All code sent to the user's browser must be free software and labeled for LibreJS or other suitable free automatic license analyzer, regardless of whether the site functions when the user disables this code. (B0)Nope!> Does not report visitors to other organizations; in particular, no tracking tags in the pages. This means the site must avoid most advertising networks. (B1)Yes, it is entirely served locally.> Does not encourage bad licensing practices (no license, unclear licensing, GPL N only). (B2)Again, don't think gitea has this.> Does not recommend nonfree licenses for works of practical use. (B3)See above.
gollark: > All important site functionality that's enabled for use with that package works correctly (though it need not look as nice) in free browsers, including IceCat, without running any nonfree software sent by the site. (C0)I think so. Definitely works in free browsers, don't know if it contains nonfree software.> No other nonfree software is required to use the site (thus, no Flash). (C1)Yes.> Does not discriminate against classes of users, or against any country. (C2)Yes.> Permits access via Tor (we consider this an important site function). (C3)Yes.> The site's terms of service contain no odious conditions. (C4)Yes.> Recommends and encourages GPL 3-or-later licensing at least as much as any other kind of licensing. (C5)I don't think it has much on licensing, so suuuure.> Support HTTPS properly and securely, including the site's certificates. (C6)Definitely.
