W3C Test materials are not open source; they can not be included in the
source-release.

Key: JENA-232
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JENA-232
Project: Apache Jena
Issue Type: Task
Components: ARQ, Jena
Reporter: Andy Seaborne
Priority: Minor
The W3C test suite, applying to tests created after 2008, has a special license:
http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Legal/2008/04-testsuite-license.html
This license does not meet the criteria for open source because it does not
permit modification.
(see [1] Item 3). The primary source release artifact for an Apache project
must contain only open source material.
This will affect tests produced by the current (2012) RDF and SPARQL working
groups.
The core and ARQ source-release artifacts need to ensure that the W3C test
materials are not included, and that will also mean running the tests needs to
cope wih the fact some of the tests are not available.
The project can use the W3C tests for internal testing.
Jena can point to the location for the tests so someone in receipt of the
source release can retrieve them (the framework for running the tests is
included in the product.
