Maybe what can be done is to split the test suite. The free portion,
which would be released, would consist of:
- tests written by Walter himself
- tests derived from those posted on Bugzilla
- any other tests that their contributors declared to be PD
- anything that's too small to be copyrightable
The other portion, consisting of everything that doesn't fit in these
categories, would remain internal.
