This is tricky topic and I'm not a lawyer, so I guess that we better
consult one.

I would expect that if you remove all the previous test code and start
from a scratch the old copyrights would not apply, but again I'm not
lawyer and I do not have in depth understanding of the copyright laws
and treaties.
