+These files are binary test files that were publicly available
+on the Internet and were reproduced here to test the logic of
+the respective plugin.  They are not under the "GPL", but 
+assumed to be reproducable (especially in this context) as they
+are used for compatibility testing and their content is often
+so trivial that they may not be copyrightable in the first place.
+In other cases, they were distributed liberally by the original
+authors.
