Thank you, this sounds like an appropriate scope for the selftest.

I support also the idea of refining the selftest as a run-time, which
could perhaps consist of the following steps:

1. Create a repository of the self-compiling selftest with GPLv2. You
   could add also AUTHORS file for the initial content by crawling this
   data from the git log.
2. Create a commit with sob's from the required stakeholders, which
   changes the license to something more appropriate, and get the
   sob's with some process.
