Hello!

First of all, thank you so much for nice and easy test framework. Sadly, it is unclear for me under which rules I (or someone else) may use automatic tests located in the "test" directory. May one redistribute them or compose a derivative work? In other words, are the terms of use compatible with free software (open source)?

It would be great if you (as copyright holder) issue a public statement about how one may use these tests. Please either add to each file in the "test" directory a comment with a copyright notice and an applied license, or commit the license into a file at the repository root.

In any case, thank you again for the test framework.

There's an MIT notice at the bottom of the readme and another hiding in the help page, so I think that counts as licensing? I agree though, a top-level LICENSE file would be lovely.

When one writes "MIT license", it's unclear what exactly legal terms were meant. It always better to copy and paste verbatim license text. Especially, unless it is too long. For example, most of files implementing main plugin features contain the license which is applicable for that file, one or two or three.
