I'm not sure why the choice of venue is such a big issue: someone will chose the venue and whether you do it at the time of writing the license or at a later point in time is irrelevant. It's a fix to the MPL which always uses Santa Clara (I think) which is rather awkward if the dispute is between two Europeans. >In any case, the choice-of-law is more important and can be set without >problems in the licence. The CDDL is meant to be reusable; fixing the law to be in the US would be counter productive. Adding the choice of venue is seen by many as an improvement over the MPL so we're really confused (dumpfounded, even) about the fact that this is the focus of negative attention.
