Not compared to the jurisdiction being your local one.
- steve_gh 1y agoI disagree. If your local jurisdiction does not deal with software licences regularly, then how they chose to interpret them is unknown. So you may end up in an expensive court fight. With a known jurisdiction building a solid corpus of precedent and case law then there are fewer unknowns. It's really the same as corporate incorporation - you chose a jurisdiction with a solid corpus of precedent and case law to avoid court cases. that's why most folk chose Delaware for the US.
- graemep 1y agoI maybe looking at it from a point of view of being in a legal system (the UK) that I have reasonable confidence in with regard to most civil cases. I always prefer contracts to specify England ans Wales as the jurisdiction, for example.
