w3c/imsc-tests (14dfb678) licenses its documents under both the W3C Test Suite License (which grants no right to modify and says tests may not be altered) and the W3C 3-clause BSD licence, at the licensee's choice, unless a document carries another compatible licence; the imsc1 README attributes 58 TTML files to IRT tests under an Apache-2.0 licence and 196 to the W3C TTML and IMSC implementation reports. Curator qualifications: Correction to producer E4/F1: the 254 listed files are not all IRT-derived; 58 are IRT-derived and 196 W3C-derived (curator count by README section). Tree counts (321 .ttml, 1,542 PNG; E1) not re-queried; exemplar PNGs are imscJS renderings (producer). Text only; no tests run or files downloaded beyond licence/README. Limitations: Text only; no tests run or files downloaded beyond licence/README. Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
