Andy Seaborne resolved JENA-232.
--------------------------------

    Resolution: Not A Problem
      Assignee: Andy Seaborne

W3C also makes test materials available under a 3-clause BSD license:

http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Legal/2008/03-bsd-license.html

which does work for Jena.

See

http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Legal/2008/04-testsuite-copyright.html

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

> 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.
