You can open a legal JIRA to confirm, but based on my understanding (and re-confirming reading https://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#category-a ):
- The restriction is on what can be in A PROJECT. tests are part of the project, and not distinguished from the compiled product (especially since the PROJECT ships SOURCE to build the product, if the SOURCE to build requires the test, the test is clearly non-optional) - GPL is cat X https://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#category-x Cat X mixes "project" and "product" a few times, but again, the product is still the source distribution, which would include the test, which means it's excluded. "Apache projects may not distribute Category X licensed components, in source or binary form" doesnt seem ambiguous to me, but if someone wants to ask ASF legal if I'm wrong, that's totally ok.
