All of SCO's suits involved choice of law. The Utah Federal District Court applied California and New York law. The Nevada Federal District Court applied California law. The Michigan court applied California law. The Swiss arbitration panel applied US law (I don't recall which state). As Tim pointed out, "choice of law" applies only to the interpretation of the license. The court applies its local rules of procedure and evidence. For an experienced lawyer or judge learning enough of the law of a new jurisdiction to interpret a contract is like an experienced programmer learning enough of a new programming language to understand a program written in it. -- John Hasler j...@dhh.gt.org Dancing Horse Hill Elmwood, WI USA _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list gnu-misc-discuss@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
