There was some discussion originally about this, and it was decided to make the test broader than just it's application to a specific jurisdiction. [I've lost the specific message(s) in which this was discussed...] In http://people.debian.org/~terpstra/message/20030310.011933.4c275bbf.html for example, this test was applied (in effect) to a situation confronting the Affero license. Of course, I think the FAQ should point out the original name of the test somewhere in 9b, as early discussions refer to it as such.
