Please do not use "BSD" to name a kind of licensing, because there are two different BSD licenses and they are not equivalent. One is compatible with the GPL and one is incompatible with it. It is crucial to distinguish these two licenses, every time, without exception. See http://gnu.org/licenses/bsd.html. There are also two different licenses that people sometimes refer to as "MIT", so it is best not to use that term either. What I can say in general is that code under any GPL-compatible license can be linked or merged with GPL-covered code, so a fortiori a test case under a GPL-compatible license can't be a problem either. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation (gnu.org, fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (internethalloffame.org) Skype: No way!
