Daniel Wilson commented on PDFBOX-391:
--------------------------------------
What about files that are attached to issues? Those, in my opinion, form some
of the most valuable test cases.
Additionally, I have received specific permission from the owner to attach a
couple of the test files.
I'm seeing our entire rendering test knocked out here. I understand there can
be legal issues, but the quality of our development will surely drop if we
can't test an entire area like that.
> Remove or replace troublesome test files

> Key: PDFBOX-391
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-391
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Reporter: Jukka Zitting
> Priority: Blocker
> Fix For: 0.8.0-incubator
>
>
> One issue raised by the license review (PDFBOX-366) is the status of the
> various test PDF files included in the test directory. Many of these don't
> seem to come with a license that would permit redistribution within an Apache
> project, so our only option seems to be to remove or replace the files before
> we can make the first Apache release.
> The full list of potentially (I haven't looked at all of these in detail so
> some might be OK for us to keep) troublesome test files is:

> My suggestion is that (in line with PDFBOX-368) we create a new
> src/test/resources directory where we move all reviewed and accepted test
> cases. Once all these files have been reviewed, we just drop the remaining
> ones for which an acceptable license could not be found. It would be nice if
> replacements could be created for such test cases, but in some cases (special
> PDF constructs, etc.) that might be a bit troublesome so I guess we'll just
> need to live with some reduction in test coverage due to this.
