4 == TestBugReports
Various reports here - is the code supplied by the reporter or written
by us? (Stylewise, I'd say "us" = Ian). If it's by us then nothing to do.
Hmm, tricky. In all of these cases, the issues were reported by the
original contributor on the public support list. I do not remember any
of them having any licensing terms of any kind attached. One may be able
to argue that the base contributions are therefore public domain, but
IANAL. The code was typically rewritten or amended by me to make a
reasonable test case, but fragments will be verbatim from the original
contributors. That certainly true of contributed test data.
If regarding the contributions as public domain isn't acceptable to ASF,
then I'll have to rewrite the code myself. Getting any form of grant or
contributor license from the many original contributors is not feasible.
That will take a while though ... there's about 2k lines of code in
TestBugReports in total.
