Nicu,
Whatever, none of this applies to you, I don't think. Either way, we are
going to go ahead and set something up so people can start uploading
pictures and just continue from there...

Frankly, companies usually use clauses like this to dissuade
individuals from suing them. Effectively, by signing the document
the company and individual agree to the location of any possible
lawsuit and what type of law that is to be applied. In the United
States each state has its own law. Some states' law is more
favorable for certain positions than others. For example, many
corporations use Delaware as their state of incorporation because it
is seen as having a body of state law that is more corporation friendly.
Mike,
I fully understand that, but I am living in the EU and most likely
will never get into Delaware, so the chances of me going into Delaware
to sue Red Hat are ZERO. And why I would prefer a corporate-friendly
law in Delaware instead of a citizen-friendly law from Europe?
And I guess I can claim at any time that not being a native English
speaker (even more, not having *ever* learned English formally) I
didn;t fully understood what I signed. You know, a citizen-friendly
European law may be helpful here :p

I'm coming into this a bit late, but I couldn't help but wonder if
there was any discussion with Red Hat legal concerning inserting a
choice of law and choice of forum clause in the Model and
Contribution release. By adding these clauses, the signee would
agree to litigate the issue by the specified law (New York,
Delaware, etc.) and location (presumably most easily accessible for
Red Hat/Fedora legal department). I would be happy to whip
something together and pass it along. (Disclosure: I am an
attorney licensed to practice in Michigan).
I am a potential photographer living in the Europe, the people
posing for me will be most likely from the EU, what do we should
care about states in the USA?
