During the vote on streams-project rc2, an IPMC member raised concern about licensing of streams test data. I think this issue is isolated to streams-contrib.
This concern will need to be discussed and resolved. I'm confident the project can come up with an approach that gives the code base an ability to test with real-world data from third-party providers and addresses all of the foundation's copyright concerns, but that will take some time to work through. One option we have immediately available is to perform a release with all test data of questionable copyright removed from the project and all tests that currently rely upon them disabled. I will get started creating an rc3 that does this, and ask for your support for it and patience while an appropriate course of action is determined. In the meantime, if you have suggestions about what we could change architecturally or specifically to re-activate and improve testing in the impacted modules, please send those to the group.
