After some clarifications, it is in fact ok to use IBM Public License or GPL softwares for the DOM Test Suites. As long as we only use them, there is no issues. If we need to modify them, then neither the GPL or the IBM Public license would do it. The Apache license is fine. So we don't really need to develop special harness for the DOM Conformance Test Suites in ECMAScript and Java if we don't modify the *Unit harnesses. As Dimitris pointed out, we still need to be sure that the tests can be reused with an other harness. Philippe
