I've updated the copyright file using copyright-format 1.0 and included
the licenses for the above.

These test cases are from the old Conformance Testing Procedure which
has been superseded by the Compliance Testing Program.

I cannot find the license text referred in the test case comments, but I
assume the OpenGIS Simple Features for SQL test cases are licensed under
the OGC Document Notice like the WFS and other tests are too.

http://www.opengeospatial.org/ogc/document

This license doesn't allow modification of the licensed works, making
the works non-free.

I think the wisest course of action is to remove the ogc_test_suite in a
repacked tarbal.

Markus, what do you think?

Kind Regards,

Bas
