I guess it means that it's a wild collection of files from unknown
sources with no explicit license header. You can also search for WSDL
files.
http://www.webservicex.net/globalweather.asmx?WSDL
http://webservices.amazon.com/AWSECommerceService/AWSECommerceService.wsdl
Both don't declare any license.

Would it help not to distribute such test data with emacs itself but to
have a script or the test itself download it if it's not already there?
I mean, those WSDL files describe (commercial) web services, so if I
wanted to use those services I'd need to download the files and analyze
them anyway. Thus downloading them for running tests seems to be a
legit thing to do.
Bye,
