I believe you'd need explicit permission from each website owner to
keep a (public-facing) copy of the pages you intend to use for
testing. I suppose if any local copies are stashed away somewhere and
never published it should be alright, but IANAL.
Maybe instead of storing a local snapshot (assuming you need static
content for the tests), you can use a online snapshot of a top 100
website from http://web.archive.org for validation. Not sure if by
doing that you can face the same copyright issues, and... IANAL. :)
Cheers,
As the goal is to test "real world" use case I think it can be even
better to simply load the sites from network.
I see only two disadvantage of that but neither of them are blocker:
1. The sites changing over time. However, as this would be a smoke
test (and not a regtest or a perf test) I don't think it's a big problem
2. Cannot test offline. Well, I don't think taking part in the
development of WebKit is possible without being online anyway :)
Do you see other disadvantages?
