This is a real issue, and I would not have any problem asking the folks at Adobe if they could clean up the way the license addresses this case. But I think we should also come up with one or more somewhat plausible suggestions, to give an idea of what we're looking for. As a rough first cut, perhaps: "Any dispute naming Adobe as a defendant, arising out of or related to this Agreement shall be brought in the courts of Santa Clara County, California, USA." (I don't think this creates any unusual advantage for Adobe because authors of derivative works can impose a similar requirement on their work.) -- Raul
