One subject I would like to see us address as a community is where we go
with respect to our general testing strategy. We have had discussions the
last several years at the Connectathons about the ability to contribute to the
cthon test suites and the legal status of the code.

Basically, because of the lack of understanding of the licensing, I believe
companies are not contributing changes back into the shared code base.

We can talk about what it would take to get the license straightened out,
but it might be more expedient to acknowledge that the cthon test suite is
a low bar and drive the creation of a new test suite.
