I thought we’d found that the provenance of some of the other texts were in question and were going to swap out some text anyway. I don’t know what kinds of things the tests were looking for, but if we swap in text could we just assume that whatever result we get is right given that they all pass now? > >I really don’t understand why this is so complicated.

It seems to me that some text like: >"Potions of the texts used in the test suites are from public domain >texts” is all that we’d need in a NOTICE. That really seems to me like >it’s enough attribution. IMO, this stuff is always complicated because the instructions are not clear and it takes several emails to agree and each email eats up 2 hours of community time. That’s why if we can find an easy way to swap in different text, one person can do that without bothering everyone else. -Alex
