We would be fine with a BSD-like license that allow us to redistribute
the yaml files by just adding attribution in our NOTICE file (as we
already do for every dependency we bundle in our distribution).

I think adding the LICENSE file here:
http://www.openspf.org/svn/project/test-suite/ and adding an header to
the involved files referencing the LICENSE would help others
understanding what they can do.

AFAIK having no specific LICENSE means that people can do nothing with
those files (default copyright laws in many countries). Maybe they can't
even run it!?
