Yeah, sure, but in the case of an OpenSolaris kernel with a glibc based userland, as we are considering, the point is moot, as the kernel/userland interface is enough to stop any derivative-work-contagion, so we are back to the lone choice of venue thingy, and its rather feeble argumentation on debian-legal, full of chinese dissidents and desert islands :) The only sane solution and the one i believe is default in international law is choice of venue to be the defendants court, either zwhere he is based or makes business.
