I'm not following, and I've managed to thoroughly confuse Carlos, so...

That's the runtime exception:

   In addition to the permissions in the GNU General Public License, the
   Free Software Foundation gives you unlimited permission to link the
   compiled version of this file into combinations with other programs,
   and to distribute those combinations without any restriction coming
   from the use of this file.  (The General Public License restrictions
   do apply in other respects; for example, they cover modification of
   the file, and distribution when not linked into a combined
   executable.)

Why should we grant that permission for a newly written test program
like Carlos's?  GPL seems like the logical choice.
