I'd like to include the rfc4408-tests.yml and the pyspf-tests.yml files
in our ASLv2 (Apache Software License v2) licensed SPF implementation
(jSPF: http://james.apache.org/jspf/).

I see there are no LICENSE files in the testsuite folder
(http://www.openspf.org/svn/project/test-suite/) but I see that the
www.openspf.org footer says this "Unless noted otherwise, all content on
this website is dual-licensed under the  GNU GPL v2 and the  Creative
Commons CC BY-SA 2.5.".

Unfortunately GPLv2 does not let us redistribution under the ASLv2
license and "CC BY-SA" is under investigation by the ASF legal team and
we cannot currently ship it under that terms.

At the same time I see that those files are included in the BSD licensed
 Mail-SPF library (http://search.cpan.org/dist/Mail-SPF/). If this means
that they have been licensed under the BSD then we could use them
because BSD is ASLv2 compatible.

Can you clarify this point? Can you add a LICENSE file to the svn folder
containing the tests?

I think it would be really important to have an BSD license or similar
that allow anyone to include that resources in their implementations.

Of course we can simply not ship them with our source disribution but I
guess that the SPF community would gain benefits from spreading of that
resources in test-suite and would also receive much more contribution
back from such "users".

Stefano
