This is not legal advice, no attorney-client relationship is established,
etc. etc.
My understanding is that Virginia law would be applied by the Albanian court
(provided, among other things, jurisdiction can be obtained in Albania and
provided the Albanian court will accept the contractual choice of law
clauses (most, but not all, jurisdictions do)).
The "excluding conflict of law provisions" wording is intended to avoid the
situation where the conflict of law provisions in Virginia would deem that
some law other than Virginia's (e.g. Albanian law) should be applied to the
dispute.

I'd be interested to know what this means:
7. This License Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in
all respects by the law of the State of Virginia, excluding
conflict of law provisions.
If someone in Albania, say, is violating the licence, and CNRI wants
to sue them in Albania, in an Albanian court, what does it mean for
Virginia law to apply?
