Hi, We (Apache JAMES project) are developing an SPF implementation in java (jSPF) [1].
Part of our test suite works by parsing 2 YAML files [2][3] provided as part of the OpenSPF group [4] TestSuite [5] Currently we wrote the java tests to simply "silently pass" if the 2 yaml files are not there and we place them only in our local checkout, but we would like to understand if we are allowed to place them in our svn repository and to redistribute them in the sources tar.gz. The 2 files [2][3] have no specific license header. The OpenSPF group website [4] tells "Unless noted otherwise, all content on this website is dual-licensed under the GNU GPL v2 and the Creative Commons CC BY-SA 2.5." So the first question is: are we allowed to redistribute unmodified yaml files originally licensed under the "Creative Commons CC BY-SA 2.5"? Do we just need the usual NOTICE reference and LICENSE pointer? Second option: an spf-devel member reported that the yaml files have been developed as part of pyspf [6] and are released under the Python Software Foundation License [7]. The PSFL is a BSD derived license (in principle) but contains a lot of sentences and is not listed in the ASF license guidelines [8]. WDYT?
