Good question. I crawled around the site looking for copyright and/or licence notices, but didn't find any. It might be possible to argue that the bunch of numbers that are published here contain no creativity and are thus not copyrightable. However, it's probably not worth the risk. Selma's approach of connecting to the nist.gov site is probably the most appropriate one. Unfortunately it will mean we'll have to exclude those tests from the normal "make check" target, but there's no reason why we cannot have a supplimentary set of tests to do this.
