web-platform-tests (including its WebVTT tests) is under the 3-Clause BSD licence. The rendering tests depend on shared media and font files outside webvtt/; the fonts README states no separate licence for them, so the repo-level BSD text is the only stated term. Curator qualifications: Licence texts read 2026-10-22; no test file downloaded. Media files (/media/white.webm|mp4) licence not separately stated (producer reading). Limitations: Licence texts read 2026-10-22; no test file downloaded.
