Great! I'm not a licensing expert either, but the Rust testsuite (like the rest of the compiler) is licensed under the following terms:
// Copyright 2012 The Rust Project Developers. See the COPYRIGHT // file at the top-level directory of this distribution and at // http://rust-lang.org/COPYRIGHT. // // Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 <LICENSE-APACHE or // http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0> or the MIT license // <LICENSE-MIT or http://opensource.org/licenses/MIT>, at your // option. This file may not be copied, modified, or distributed // except according to those terms. I think if you read through that, as well as the COPYRIGHT file, it should tell you whether it's ok to bundle the test suite in a GPL program. In the worst case, you could just make a new git repository with *just* the Rust testsuite (licensed under our license) and make it a git submodule of your compiler.
