Yes. No freebies like copyright, unfortunately. (Well... that isn't
perfectly 100% true, but again you should discuss that with a real
lawyer and not with someone who skipped Principles of IP this
afternoon. :)

Presumably. You'd want to establish some standards for what you're
testing- i.e., you wouldn't want to just say 'please give us a sample
XSPF you've outputted' and validate that; you'd want to make sure that
they hand you an XSPF that tests any known corner cases, etc.

Followups should be in private, probably, or on FoRK ;)
