I see. Maybe we could start iteratively? That means, adapt the test
files where's no copyright problem, and bring them to Emacs git. For the
other files, we will contact the authors, and bring them to Emacs case
by case, when the copyright has been fixed.

If needed, I could help you. Just tell me.

Btw, you could runn all tests under test/lisp/org by

make -C test check-lisp-org

And the dust on emba.gnu.org settled. That is, whenever there is a
change in either lisp/org/*.el or test/lisp/org/*.el, all tests under
test/lisp/org/*.el will run automatically, as regression test. An extra
bonus, isn't it?
