I believe that there was a decision for GCC along the lines of tests not 
of independent use, and not coming from a proprietary testsuite, not 
needing assignments / disclaimers - followed by a series of deletions of 
tests not meeting that policy (by Jeff Law on 1999-08-03) to allow the 
testsuite to start being distributed with GCC releases again.  However, 
I'm not aware of a public statement of the actual policy (and the private 
GCC SC list archives don't start until a month later) - and in any case 
that policy may be for GCC only.
