Description

Hey there,

While reviewing the source code of sequenceserver I've noticed, that several files have executable permissions while not being an executables.

For example:

public/js/webshims/shims/styles/widget.eot
public/js/webshims/shims/jme/jme.woff
public/js/webshims/shims/styles/progress.gif
public/js/webshims/shims/jme/jme.svg
# and many more...

is that something intended? If so, I would appreciate explanation as I often find it a bug.

Thank you :pray:

Contributor guide

Research direction
Identify non executable files (e.g., .eot, .woff, .gif, .svg) with executable permissions. Use `find . type f \( name '*.eot' o name '*.woff' o name '*.gif' o name '*.svg' \) executable` to list them, then run `chmod x` on those files. Commit the changes.
