While those 3 licences would allow the tests to be used in projects with
alternative licences [1], they do not allow them to be re-licensed under
a different licence, which, if I understand correctly, the W3C would do
if they included the tests in the offical test suite.
[1] Note that that Apache v2 is incompatible with GPLv2, so I wouldn't
recommend using that one.
