+The Open Group Test Suite License
+
+Preamble
+
+The intent of this document is to state the conditions under which a
+Package may be copied, such that the Copyright Holder maintains some
+semblance of artistic control over the development of the package,
+while giving the users of the package the right to use and distribute
+the Package in a more-or-less customary fashion, plus the right to
+make reasonable modifications.
+
+Testing is essential for proper development and maintenance of
+standards-based products.
+
+For buyers: adequate conformance testing leads to reduced integration
+costs and protection of investments in applications, software and
+people.
+
+For software developers: conformance testing of platforms and
+middleware greatly reduces the cost of developing and maintaining
+multi-platform application software.
+
+For suppliers: In-depth testing increases customer satisfaction and
+keeps development and support costs in check. API conformance is
+highly measurable and suppliers who claim it must be able to
+substantiate that claim.
+
+As such, since these are benchmark measures of conformance, we feel
+the integrity of test tools is of importance. In order to preserve the
+integrity of the existing conformance modes of this test package and
+to permit recipients of modified versions of this package to run the
+original test modes, this license requires that the original test
+modes be preserved.
+
+If you find a bug in one of the standards mode test cases, please let
+us know so we can feed this back into the original, and also raise any
+specification issues with the appropriate bodies (for example the
+POSIX committees).
+
+Definitions:
+
+ * "Package" refers to the collection of files distributed by the
+ Copyright Holder, and derivatives of that collection of files
+ created through textual modification.
+
+ * "Standard Version" refers to such a Package if it has not been
+ modified, or has been modified in accordance with the wishes of
+ the Copyright Holder.
+
+ * "Copyright Holder" is whoever is named in the copyright or
+ copyrights for the package. "You" is you, if you're thinking about
+ copying or distributing this Package.
+
+ * "Reasonable copying fee" is whatever you can justify on the
+ basis of media cost, duplication charges, time of people involved,
+ and so on. (You will not be required to justify it to the
+ Copyright Holder, but only to the computing community at large as
+ a market that must bear the fee.)
+
+ * "Freely Available" means that no fee is charged for the item
+ itself, though there may be fees involved in handling the item. It
+ also means that recipients of the item may redistribute it under
+ the same conditions they received it.
+
+1. You may make and give away verbatim copies of the source form of
+ the Standard Version of this Package without restriction, provided
+ that you duplicate all of the original copyright notices and
+ associated disclaimers.
+
+2. You may apply bug fixes, portability fixes and other modifications
+derived from the Public Domain or from the Copyright Holder. A Package
+modified in such a way shall still be considered the Standard Version.
+
+3. You may otherwise modify your copy of this Package in any way,
+ provided that you insert a prominent notice in each changed file
+ stating how and when you changed that file, and provided that you do
+ at least the following: rename any non-standard executables and
+ testcases so the names do not conflict with standard executables and
+ testcases, which must also be provided, and provide a separate manual
+ page for each non-standard executable and testcase that clearly
+ documents how it differs from the Standard Version.
+
+4. You may distribute the programs of this Package in object code or
+ executable form, provided that you do at least the following:
+ accompany any non-standard executables and testcases with their
+ corresponding Standard Version executables and testcases, giving the
+ non-standard executables and testcases non-standard names, and clearly
+ documenting the differences in manual pages (or equivalent), together
+ with instructions on where to get the Standard Version.
+
+5. You may charge a reasonable copying fee for any distribution of
+ this Package. You may charge any fee you choose for support of this
+ Package. You may not charge a fee for this Package itself. However,
+ you may distribute this Package in aggregate with other (possibly
+ commercial) programs as part of a larger (possibly commercial)
+ software distribution provided that you do not advertise this Package
+ as a product of your own.
+
+6. The scripts and library files supplied as input to or produced as
+ output from the programs of this Package do not automatically fall
+ under the copyright of this Package, but belong to whomever generated
+ them, and may be sold commercially, and may be aggregated with this
+ Package.
+
+7. Subroutines supplied by you and linked into this Package shall not
+ be considered part of this Package.
+
+8. The name of the Copyright Holder may not be used to endorse or
+ promote products derived from this software without specific prior
+ written permission.
+
+9. THIS PACKAGE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED
+ WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
+ MERCHANTIBILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
+
+The End
