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,
