I'm not in any sort of legal conflict here- I think mainly just looking for 
ways to respond to the lawyer's opinion, perhaps others have come across 
similar objections to the EPL. I can sort of see why the DoD wouldn't like 
a license that indicated the Fed govt would be governed by state laws. 
Maybe this isn't the right forum for this (not a Clojure specific problem 
but rather a problem with the EPL that Clojure uses).
