As long as they meet our license policies, sure. (For code which is not shipped, the official policy is simply "must be under an OSI license", and the unofficial policy is also "should not cause us licensing or administrative hassle".) > and allow people who write > tests as work-for-hire for the Mozilla Group to contribute to more > restrictively licensed upstream test repos under the licenses of those > repos. Again, if open source, no problem; if not, we'd have to consider on a case-by-case basis. We'd be more likely to establish an independent test suite. > I think it would make sense for tests that have been written as > work-for-hire to the Mozilla Group or have otherwise had their > copyright transferred to the Mozilla Foundation prior to the policy > change date to be relicensed by the Mozilla Foundation under CC0.

I'm happy to do that if all it means is stating it as a policy, but I don't have time to go and do the research and change license headers. We can simply say: "if you do the research on a file with no header and find it qualifies, you can use it under CC0. If you can't be bothered, you must assume it's MPL2."
