The test was written from scratch based loosely on what the original
stress test did, so I would say that the new license is okay.

But I suggested adding "Based on fxs.c test by Next Computer, Inc."
instead of the copyright lines, since I suppose that once we add these
copyrights we have to keep the original license.

I would keep the linux in the name, at least is clear that we do not
intend to be portable to BSDs etc. like the orignal code was.
