I'm not in any sort of legal conflict here- I think mainly just looking for ways to respond to the lawyer's opinion, perhaps others have come across similar objections to the EPL. I can sort of see why the DoD wouldn't like a license that indicated the Fed govt would be governed by state laws. Maybe this isn't the right forum for this (not a Clojure specific problem but rather a problem with the EPL that Clojure uses).
