An example of a different MPL 1.1 derived choice-of-venue clause is
firebird2's:
This License shall be governed by California law provisions (except to
the extent applicable law, if any, provides otherwise), excluding its
conflict-of-law provisions. With respect to disputes in which at least
one party is a citizen of, or an entity chartered or registered to
do business in the United States of America, any litigation relating
to this License shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the Federal
Courts of the Northern District of California, with venue lying in
Santa Clara County, California, with the losing party responsible
for costs, including without limitation, court costs and reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses.
Perhaps a more interesting example is xserver-xorg-core's inclusion of the
GLX Public License, which includes:
Any litigation relating to this License shall be subject to the
exclusive jurisdiction of the Federal Courts of the Northern District
of California (or, absent subject matter jurisdiction in such courts,
the courts of the State of California), with venue lying exclusively
in Santa Clara County, California, with the losing party responsible
for costs, including without limitation, court costs and reasonable
attorneys fees and expenses.
The CID Font Code Public License and the SGI Free Software License B in the same
package have similar clauses.
