There's the much more substantial issue of "What if the lincensor cannot
use courts in BC at all."  For example, what if the potential licensor
lives in a country that Canada has embargoed.  It has been the policy of
this body that licenses that can be violated by a national embargo are
not open-source, because they violate OSD5.
