Copyright/license of libc-testsuite

[Jeroen Ketema]

Hello,

I've been looking into porting musl to a different architecture and 
would like to do some testing to see whether my porting effort is going ok.

Browsing the gitc web interface on the musl website, I encountered 
libc-testsuite, which seems to cover part of my needs. However, the 
suite does not seem to have a license and/or copyright associated with 
it, which makes it somewhat difficult to evaluate whether I can actually 
use the testsuite in the context I'm working in. Would it be possible to 
get some clarification with respect to the testsuite's copyright and 
license?

Thanks,

  Jeroen Ketema

The modern libc-test is here:

http://nsz.repo.hu/git/?p=libc-test

It's much better than the old libc-testsuite. I really should add a
note to the latter repo that it's deprecated.

Hi Rich,

Thanks for your quick reply. The modern test suite indeed looks very 
nice. I'll give it a go.

Cheers,

  Jeroen

you mean http://repo.or.cz/libc-test.git ?

it has
http://repo.or.cz/libc-test.git/blob/HEAD:/COPYRIGHT
with a separate AUTHORS file.

however my policy is to add arbitraryly licensed
tests (with the license text included somewhere).

(this way we cannot distribute the tests with musl,
but we can have all openly available sources for
tests, i don't know any license that prevents you
from running tests against code under that license.)

this is bad for public mailing lists.
