An open source software license is the wrong place to include what's current law in one or more jurisdictions. As I said, it's the job of a particular court to decide if a license is valid in some specific place. An open source software license is meant for the whole world and therefore should only include the intentions of the author without an encoding of current laws. The software is likely to exist longer than some law that was encoded into a license text. I'm sorry you took my text to mean I'm suggesting a license can void laws. On the contrary I was suggesting it cannot, but English isn't my first language, and I may have failed to be clear. Again, what about the illegality of using a BSD/MIT licensed piece of software if you require GPL/Apache style liability?
