 Some tests in testsuite are released under GPL license:

   * T3787
   * T4524
   * T3591

 but we don't provide copy of the license thus violating the license:

 {{{
 give any other recipients of the Program a copy of
 this License along with the Program.
 }}}

 (Actually testsuite itself doesn't have a license, but that's a different
 issue)
