Most test cases are pretty small such that either copyright doesn't apply
(if really tiny) or it's simple enough to rewrite the case from scratch
once you roughly grok the bug.
FSF requires signed disclaimers from people who want to declare their code
to be in the public domain before we can use it, too. An informal
statement in email is no more legally sound when it says, "I created this
and put it in the public domain," than when it says, "I own the copyright
for this and hereby transfer that ownership to you." If you want to verify
that this is still the policy (my understanding of this stuff is all 20+
years old) and/or complain about it, talk to assign@gnu.org or
licensing@fsf.org, don't post here about things nobody here can control.
Thanks,
Roland
