+    Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
+    of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
+
+    [This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL.  It also counts
+     as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence
+     the version number 2.1.]
+
+### Preamble
+
+The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom
+to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public Licenses
+are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
+software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.
+
+This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some
+specially designated software packages--typically libraries--of the
+Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You
+can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether
+this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better
+strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations
+below.
+
+When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use,
+not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that
+you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge
+for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get
+it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of
+it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do
+these things.
+
+To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
+distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these
+rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for
+you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it.
+
+For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis
+or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave
+you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source
+code. If you link other code with the library, you must provide
+complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them
+with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling
+it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
+
+We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the
+library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal
+permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.
+
+To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that there
+is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is modified
+by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know that what
+they have is not the original version, so that the original author's
+reputation will not be affected by problems that might be introduced
+by others.
+
+Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of
+any free program. We wish to make sure that a company cannot
+effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a
+restrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that
+any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be
+consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license.
+
+Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the
+ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser
+General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and
+is quite different from the ordinary General Public License. We use
+this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those
+libraries into non-free programs.
+
+When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using a
+shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a
+combined work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary
+General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the
+entire combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General
+Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with
+the library.
+
+We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it
+does Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General
+Public License. It also provides other free software developers Less
+of an advantage over competing non-free programs. These disadvantages
+are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many
+libraries. However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain
+special circumstances.
+
+For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to
+encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it
+becomes a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must
+be allowed to use the library. A more frequent case is that a free
+library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In this
+case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free
+software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License.
+
+In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free
+programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of
+free software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in
+non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU
+operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating
+system.
+
+Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the
+users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is
+linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run
+that program using a modified version of the Library.
+
+The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
+modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a
+"work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The
+former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must
+be combined with the library in order to run.
+
+### TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
+
+**0.** This License Agreement applies to any software library or other
+program which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or
+other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of
+this Lesser General Public License (also called "this License"). Each
+licensee is addressed as "you".
+
+A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data
+prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs
+(which use some of those functions and data) to form executables.
+
+The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work
+which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the
+Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under
+copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a
+portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated
+straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is
+included without limitation in the term "modification".)
+
+"Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for
+making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means
+all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated
+interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control
+compilation and installation of the library.
+
+Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
+covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
+running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from
+such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based
+on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for
+writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does and
+what the program that uses the Library does.
+
+**1.** You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's
+complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that
+you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an
+appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact
+all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any
+warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the
+Library.
+
+You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
+you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a
+fee.
+
+**2.** You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any
+portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and
+distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
+above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
+
+-   **a)** The modified work must itself be a software library.
+-   **b)** You must cause the files modified to carry prominent
+    notices stating that you changed the files and the date of
+    any change.
+-   **c)** You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no
+    charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
+-   **d)** If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function
+    or a table of data to be supplied by an application program that
+    uses the facility, other than as an argument passed when the
+    facility is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to
+    ensure that, in the event an application does not supply such
+    function or table, the facility still operates, and performs
+    whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful.
+
+    (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has
+    a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of
+    the application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any
+    application-supplied function or table used by this function must
+    be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square
+    root function must still compute square roots.)
+
+These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
+identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library,
+and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
+themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
+sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
+distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
+on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
+this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
+entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote
+it.
+
+Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
+your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
+exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
+collective works based on the Library.
+
+In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library
+with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of
+a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
+the scope of this License.
+
+**3.** You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General
+Public License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library.
+To do this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License,
+so that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version
+2, instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of
+the ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can
+specify that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other
+change in these notices.
+
+Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for that
+copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all
+subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy.
+
+This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of the
+Library into a program that is not a library.
+
+**4.** You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or
+derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form
+under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany
+it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which
+must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a
+medium customarily used for software interchange.
+
+If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy from
+a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source
+code from the same place satisfies the requirement to distribute the
+source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the
+source along with the object code.
+
+**5.** A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the
+Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or
+linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a work,
+in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and therefore
+falls outside the scope of this License.
+
+However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library
+creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it
+contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the
+library". The executable is therefore covered by this License. Section
+6 states terms for distribution of such executables.
+
+When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file
+that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a
+derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not.
+Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be
+linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The
+threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law.
+
+If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data structure
+layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline functions
+(ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object file is
+unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative work.
+(Executables containing this object code plus portions of the Library
+will still fall under Section 6.)
+
+Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may
+distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6.
+Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6,
+whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself.
+
+**6.** As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or
+link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a work
+containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work under
+terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit modification of
+the work for the customer's own use and reverse engineering for
+debugging such modifications.
+
+You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the
+Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by
+this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work
+during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the
+copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference
+directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one
+of these things:
+
+-   **a)** Accompany the work with the complete corresponding
+    machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever
+    changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under
+    Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked
+    with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that
+    uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the
+    user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified
+    executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood that
+    the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the
+    Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application
+    to use the modified definitions.)
+-   **b)** Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with
+    the Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time
+    a copy of the library already present on the user's computer
+    system, rather than copying library functions into the executable,
+    and (2) will operate properly with a modified version of the
+    library, if the user installs one, as long as the modified version
+    is interface-compatible with the version that the work was
+    made with.
+-   **c)** Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at least
+    three years, to give the same user the materials specified in
+    Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more than the cost of
+    performing this distribution.
+-   **d)** If distribution of the work is made by offering access to
+    copy from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the
+    above specified materials from the same place.
+-   **e)** Verify that the user has already received a copy of these
+    materials or that you have already sent this user a copy.
+
+For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the
+Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for
+reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception,
+the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is
+normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major
+components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on
+which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies
+the executable.
+
+It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license
+restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally
+accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot
+use both them and the Library together in an executable that you
+distribute.
+
+**7.** You may place library facilities that are a work based on the
+Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library
+facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined
+library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on
+the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise
+permitted, and provided that you do these two things:
+
+-   **a)** Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work
+    based on the Library, uncombined with any other
+    library facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of
+    the Sections above.
+-   **b)** Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact
+    that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining
+    where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work.
+
+**8.** You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute
+the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any
+attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or
+distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your
+rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies,
+or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses
+terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
+
+**9.** You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
+signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
+distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are
+prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
+modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the
+Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
+all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
+the Library or works based on it.
+
+**10.** Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on
+the Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
+original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library
+subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
+restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
+You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with
+this License.
+
+**11.** If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of
+patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent
+issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order,
+agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this
+License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License.
+If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your
+obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations,
+then as a consequence you may not distribute the Library at all. For
+example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free
+redistribution of the Library by all those who receive copies directly
+or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it
+and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the
+Library.
+
+If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
+any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
+apply, and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
+circumstances.
+
+It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
+patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
+such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
+integrity of the free software distribution system which is
+implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
+generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
+through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
+system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
+to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
+impose that choice.
+
+This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
+be a consequence of the rest of this License.
+
+**12.** If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in
+certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
+original copyright holder who places the Library under this License
+may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
+those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
+countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
+the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
+
+**13.** The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new
+versions of the Lesser General Public License from time to time. Such
+new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
+differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
+
+Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library
+specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and
+"any later version", you have the option of following the terms and
+conditions either of that version or of any later version published by
+the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a
+license version number, you may choose any version ever published by
+the Free Software Foundation.
+
+**14.** If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other
+free programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with
+these, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which
+is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free
+Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our
+decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status
+of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing
+and reuse of software generally.
+
+**NO WARRANTY**
+
+**15.** BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO
+WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
+EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR
+OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY
+KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE
+IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
+PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE
+LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME
+THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
+
+**16.** IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN
+WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY
+AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU
+FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR
+CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE
+LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING
+RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A
+FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF
+SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGES.
+
+### END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+
+### How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries
+
+If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest
+possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that
+everyone can redistribute and change. You can do so by permitting
+redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms
+of the ordinary General Public License).
+
+To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library. It
+is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most
+effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should
+have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full
+notice is found.
+
+    one line to give the library's name and an idea of what it does.
+    Copyright (C) year  name of author
+
+    This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or
+    modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public
+    License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either
+    version 2.1 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
+
+    This library is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
+    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
+    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the GNU
+    Lesser General Public License for more details.
+
+    You should have received a copy of the GNU Lesser General Public
+    License along with this library; if not, write to the Free Software
+    Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA  02110-1301  USA
+
+Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper
+mail.
+
+You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or
+your school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the library,
+if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
+
+    Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in
+    the library `Frob' (a library for tweaking knobs) written
+    by James Random Hacker.

+JATS - JAT-based test suite
+===========================
+
+Version
+-------
+
+v0.0 -- proof-of-concept phase
+
+**Disclaimer:** Version number of this specification starts with zero, which
+signifies *proof-of-concept phase*; many aspects including the basic ones
+**WILL CHANGE**.
+
+
+Suite
+-----
+
+JATS test suite consists of one or more JAT-based tests.  Each test is
+a directory, containing:
+
+    test
+    meta.yml
+
+*test* is main body of the test.  *meta.yml* is a YAML file containing
+test meta-data such as human-readable description, dependencies and
+coverage information.
+
+
+### Root directory ###
+
+Root directory of a test suite is designated by placement of file *format*
+in sub-directory *.jats*.  This file MUST contain version number in `X.Y`
+format, where X is major format version and `Y` is minor format version.
+
+A tool declaring support for JATS test suite MUST recognize one or more
+compatible format versions and refuse to work with suite if no supported
+versions match suite version.
+
+
+### Suite meta-data ###
+
+Test suite meta-data is stored under *.jats* directory under respective
+filename:
+
+
+ *  *domain* - Domain under which test suite exists.  A public JATS test suite
+    SHOULD refer to a valid domain name owned by test suite owner.
+
+    Default value is `jats.example.org`.
+
+ *  *ns* - Namespace under which rules for test organization are defined.
+    MUST consist of valid Path as defined in [RFC 3986][rfc3986path].
+
+    Usually this contains hierarchical elements such as work group name and
+    project name.
+
+    Default value is `anonns`.
+
+ *  *sut_pname* -  Plain name (or "package name") of System Under Test. MUST
+    consist of lowercase ASCII letters and dashes.  MUST NOT start with dash.
+
+    Default value is `anonsut`.
+
+ *  *sut_url* - Valid HTTP(s) URL leading to more information about System Under
+    Test.   Default value is `https://example.org/anonsut`,
+
+ *  *url* - Valid HTTP(s) URL leading to more information about Test Suite
+    itself.  Default value is composed in following way:
+
+        https://<DOMAIN>/<NS>
+
+    where `<DOMAIN>` and `<NS>` are contents of files *domain* and *ns* as above,
+    respectively.
+
+  [rfc3986path]: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-3.3
+
+
+
+Test
+----
+
+By default, the format of the test is a source-able Bash code using
+*shellfu-bash-jat* library.  A trivial example of *test* code could
+be:
+
+    jat__pstartt "example test phase"
+        jat__cmd -h "true is still true" \
+            true
+        jat__cmp -h "five is still greater than three" \
+            5 gt 3
+        jat__cmp -h "foo still contains oo" \
+            foo re oo
+    jat__pend
+
+
+Meta-data and test properties
+-----------------------------
+
+Properties of a test are inferred from directory structure and complemented
+by test meta-data.  Following test properties are defined:
+
+
+### Test id ###
+
+Test id is determined from available data and has format of:
+
+    jats://<DOMAIN>/<NS>/<SUT_PNAME>/<PATH>
+
+where:
+
+ *  `jats://` is a constant pseudo-protocol string,
+
+ *  `<DOMAIN>`, `<NS>`, and `<SUT_PNAME>` are contents of respective
+    files from *.jats* meta-data directory,
+
+ *  and `<PATH>` is path of test directory relative to suite root directory.
+
+For example, following tree:
+
+    foosuite
+      +-- .jats
+      |       +-- domain        # contaning "my.example.org"
+      |       +-- ns            # contaning "myns"
+      |       +-- sut_pname     # contaning "mysut"
+      |       +-- version
+      +-- foo
+      |     +-- test
+      +-- bar
+           +-- baz-simple
+           |     +-- test
+           +-- baz-advanced
+                 +-- test
+
+contains following tests:
+
+    jats://my.example.org/myns/mysut/foo
+    jats://my.example.org/myns/mysut/bar/baz-simple
+    jats://my.example.org/myns/mysut/bar/baz-advanced
