Harbs commented on FLEX-34729:
------------------------------
The only questionable text is a bit of Arabic text that seems to come from the
UN Declaration as Justin mentions. My opinion is that it's not a problem since
it's just a bit of text and should fall under "fair use".
Replacing the text with something that's clearly not copyrighted is definitely
cleaner, but we're going to need to check all the tests that use the text to
make sure that changing the text does not cause the tests to fail.
The simplest way to get non-copyrighted Arabic text if you want to replace it,
is by simply typing some generic text into Google translate and copying the
resultant Arabic from there.
