Hello all, Best wishes for the new year to all of you.
I have noticed that various OSI-approved licenses exclude the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. First question: why would anyone want to exclude a supranational regulation. I'd suppose such regulations are installed in order to promote international trade... Second question: Once this Convention has been ratified by a country's government I'd assume it has status of law within that country. Is it legally possible then, to bypass such a regulation? I mean, I could write that applciation of regulations relating to racism are excluded from my license X, but I seriously doubt that such a statement would have any consequence: it would simply be overridden by 'the law'. Anybody willing to shed some light on these - to me - murky matters? Thanks in advance, and kind regards, Abe. -- Abe F. Kornelis, B.V.
