I want the whole test suite licensed under BSD or MIT (or Apache v2), not just my tests. > If these are the terms of your contribution, you should have mentioned > that in your message in September. > http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-css-testsuite/2007Sep/0010.html At the time I was not aware that the W3C had such a ridiculous policy. Indeed, I would have insisted we change the license on the Selectors test suite many years ago if I had realised the W3C's policy. I only became aware of the issue at the HTML working group F2F meeting, and since that test suite was quickly resolved to be covered by the MIT license, I had no worries that there would be a problem with the CSS tests. Clearly I was mistaken. > Arron Eischolz has already put in many hours reviewing your tests to > prep them for adding to the test suite. Incidentally, I would recommend anyone reviewing or working with these tests to contact me, so that I can keep their needs in mind. Did Arron find any problems that I should resolve? -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
