Hi Subrata,

Yes, we've used the LTP testsuite in the past and I want to thank you 
and everyone in the LTP community for their work in producing such a 
through test suite.

At this point in time we are not interested in moving the audit-test 
sources to the LTP project; however, we would support posting 
audit-test releases along with the other Common Criteria test suites.  
This should be possible without any paperwork since the audit-test 
project is GPLv2 licensed.  If that is not sufficient please send me 
whatever paperwork/signoff/email is necessary and I will take a look at 
it and get back to you.
