Actually, you're involvement has been very useful, because it sort of demonstrates my main concerns. Choice of law clauses are complicated and no one is really very sure what they mean. It's rather like a "non-commercial" clause that you often seen in creative commons material.
It is my main problem with this language in EPL. I wish Clojure used a clearer licence; it's one area, for example, where Scala is far simpler. But we are where we are, and I guess another licence discussion on this mailing list is not going to change that.

You pick a jurisdiction by being in it. I clearly did not have enough coffee this morning. Choice of law != choice of venue. But I suspect the point holds, which is just that there are tradeoffs involved - omitting a choice of law clause just gives you a different set of potential headaches. I think I'll stop now. heh. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
