License of testdata images

[toddy15]

Hi @bep,

I'm currently creating a Debian package of this project, in order to be able to build the Debian package for hugo. As you may know, the Debian project makes a great effort to list all licenses and copyright holders of the files in the distribution.

So I was wondering if you're able to tell me how the images in the testdata directory are licensed? Are you the copyright holder, and the MIT license does apply to the images as well?

Regards,
Tobias

The short answer is no, and I should probably fix/clear up that situation.

Some added notes:

• The repos I have borrowed test images from are all open source (MIT, Apache licenses)
• It's hard to write a new library like this from scratch without leaning on some corner cases found by others in the past.
• For me this is "fair use" of open source images that's not distributed in the end product. We (I) should be more transparent about this (I guess I could delete most of the images now that the implementation seems to be stable), and I wished Go's module support had a way to import these as test dependencies somehow, which would make the license chain discoverable.
