--- Comment #4 from Mathieu Bridon <bochecha@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ---
I left the legal issue out from the previous comment so that you could still
review the technical changes separately.

Yeah, that's not clear at all. :-/

It seems to me that the code of the unit test is under the same license as the
module itself, and that this copyright notice only applies to the test vectors.

At least that's what I understand from the lines just above it:

# Test vectors extracted from:
#
#                    Nameprep and IDNA Test Vectors
#                   draft-josefsson-idn-test-vectors

> FIX: Please ask <fedora-legal-list@xxxxxxxxxx> for clarification.

Legal people, what's your take on this?
