A clear legal status all over the world. A signed statement on paper is recognized everywhere. The legal status of electronic messages, even if signed by some suitable technique, varies wildly from one country to the other. It would be nice if open software could somehow escape from the legal hassle surrounding copyright law, but I don't think this is a realistic idea.
