I think it would be free mainly because I cannot think of any
situation where the licensee would have any grievance (grounded in a
free license, anyway) to sue the licensor over. Thus, the only suits
that would be covered by such a clause would be completely frivolous
ones.
I can symphatize with a licensor who does not wish to end up in a
*foreign* court as a result of writing software and giving it away.
