Non-free test data

Open jayvdb opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

While looking further into #114, I found that some of the docs in tests/input are copyrighted and non-free, and thus should not be included in GitHub unless there is some explicit permission from the rights holders. As one of them is https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1464343X10000865 , it is quite likely that rights holder has not, and will not, give free-libre rights for its redistribution.

I suggest finding alternative PDFs for testing, and delete the copyrighted PDFs before another release is cut.

You're absolutely right. It should be pretty easy to use LaTeX and some lorem ipsum text to generate our own test documents.
