I found this license in a test case:
/* (C) Copyright C E Chew * * Feel free to copy, use and distribute this software provided: * * 1. you do not pretend that you wrote it * 2. you leave this copyright notice intact. */
What's the appropriate license tag for it?
Thanks, Florian

It is non-free, due to a lack of permission to modify.
I'd suggest recommending that upstream relicense this test case under an established Free license.

Uh-oh, you are probably right.

I doubt upstream has a way to contact the author. It is just a test case, so we're going to remove it.
