See my other email. And if you are curious, i think the latest thread concernign choice-of-venue is : http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2005/02/msg00036.html A choice quote there, in the first reply, from on of debian's Release Managers is : The problem with choice of venue clauses is that anyone who accepts the license must also accept the burden of defending themselves against charges of license violation in a court which is likely to have an implicit bias in favor of the copyright holder: first because courts will often favor, or can often be manipulated to favor, a party to the suit who is local to them; and second because the cost of litigation is frequently unequal when one party is geographically much closer than the other. There is more too, and i am sure i saw the current DPL, Branden Robinson, voicing itself against choice of venue also, but i can't find back the email among the many hundred if not thousand concerning this subject. So, again, you are being uninformed or deceptive when you speak about a single person.
