 ## Copying code
 
-The contents of `cpp/ql/test` should be original - nothing should be copied from other sources. In particular do not copy-paste C/C++ code from third party projects, your own projects, or the standard C/C++ library implementation of your compiler (regardless of the associated license). As an exception, required declarations may be taken from the following sources where necessary:

 ## Including files
 
-Standard and third party library header files should not be included in tests by means of `#include` or similar mechanisms. This is because the tests should be independent of platform and library versions installed on the running machine. Standard library declarations may be inserted directly where necessary (see the rules in the section above), but it is generally better to avoid using the standard library at all when possible.

 `#include` may be used to include files from the same directory within `cpp/ql/test`.  For example the test for "Include header files only" (`cpp/include-non-header`) includes other files in the test directory:
