The given FSF rule is "Any file more than ten lines long is nontrivial for
this purpose.", so the script follows it: 5-line files aren't included but
if a t-* file is more than ten lines it is included.  The implication of
the rule seems to me to be that maintainers shouldn't try to make legal
judgements about whether a particular 11-line file is copyrightable.
