Source: node-jsdom Version: 0.2.13+dfsg1-1 Severity: minor I've noticed that during DFSG-repackaging W3C test suite is dropped. README.source explains:
remove the testsuite, which has portions © W3C, under a non-free license <http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Legal/2008/04-testsuite-license.html> But LICENSE.txt under "/test" in the original tar says: all level1,level2,level3 test cases were written by the w3c see: http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Legal/2008/04-testsuite-copyright.html for licensing I checked the above link and found that actually tests are dual-licensed under "BSD-3-clause" or "W3C Test Suite License". I also checked archives.org to see whether W3C tests licensing has changed since the package was introduced but found no changes: https://web.archive.org/web/20100610095930/http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Legal/2008/04-testsuite-copyright.html It looks like tests are available under BSD-3-clause terms so perhaps we could ship them. However header of "DOMTestCase.js" says: Copyright (c) 2001-2004 World Wide Web Consortium, (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Institut National de Recherche en Informatique et en Automatique, Keio University).

See W3C License http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Legal/ for more details. From the above page I have impression that "Software Intellectual Property License" refers to "Test Suite Licenses" in which case perhaps we could re-distribute tests under BSD-3-clause license. So I wonder if we can ship tests after all? Am I missing something? -- Best wishes, Dmitry Smirnov GPG key : 4096R/53968D1B
