Good to know that.

What i would like to know whether the above tests can be made part of
LTP under GPLv2. They can exist in LTP, even if they need to run in a
different way, somewhere in:
http://ltp.cvs.sourceforge.net/ltp/ltp/testcases/kernel/fs/

I am trying to give users a common repository for lots of tests within
LTP. There can be a win win situation as you get the entire LTP
community to look into your tests, which in turn can generate additional
improvements/bug fixes for you. So, you have 2 communities parallely
using and simultaneously improving the suite. And when you keep
releasing future version, i can port those releases automatically to
LTP. If you would like to include these tests inside LTP, then somebody
needs to DCO signoff them to LTP list. Let me know what you think about
this.
