Actually, I doubt that this file is copyrightable at all, as it is so
small. The web site says, the file contains
[EMAIL PROTECTED](P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*
(including or not the final CR/LF).
This string is also written on Wikipedia with
Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this
document under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License,
Version 1.2 or any later version published by the Free Software

So I think that for the moment, in case we assume it is copyrightable we
can use it within the GFDL, in case we assume it isn't copyrightable we
could just use it.
How to go ahead from here? I don't think the current piuparts-failures
should stop us from shipping this package with Lenny, and the current way
is working since quite some time. However, the final fix would be to add
that string within the package (the fix could be easy, replace the curl
by "echo -n ... > ...").
Cheers,
Andi
