Dunno if this is relevant to the decision, but I beleive that in some
countries, unless the contract specifically states a time period,
certain modes of transfer of copyright are deemed by law to be limited
to a certain period.
In India atleast, an _assignment_ is deemed to be for a period of five
years, unless the parties specifiy a period. I think that specifying
the duration of the license is a good idea.
