Hmm, that's a good point. I'll admit I hadn't really thought this through,
but I can actually see an argument going both ways on this:

* Viral licenses won't actually affect you if they're just used for test
suites.
* But company lawyers will probably be nervous about it anyway.

Nonetheless, I think you have the right of it. Unless people say otherwise,
I'm going to implement Vincent's change.
