As Jordan stated, the files under question are the product (redirected
standard output) of non-free software, whose copyright statements are
reprinted in their output as is generally customary.  I do not see that
this is a policy and/or copyright violation.

Those files are shipped as examples and for validation.  You could
compare it with random (lawfully) Adobe produced PDFs shipped in a PDF
parser library as testfiles to see that the parser is still intact.

If ftp-masters or whoever think this is a huge problem, we can remove
them.  I already replaced the NWChem produced files with newly created
ones using the (now open sourced) nwchem package in testing/unstable.
