I thought we were upstream.

Are these tests run on Red Hat equipment or at Rackspace?

If we're testing things upstream from Red Hat on hosts for which Red Hat
has no legal obligation, can we not test on differently licensed
subsystems?

Frankly, since there's no inclusion of code, headers, libraries, etc. in
GlusterFS, there's no mixing of licenses. Just to have a test that shows
that something still works doesn't affect copyright, in my non-legally
trained opinion.
