Many of the lawyers involved have noticed that there are paragraphs in established licences that are not permitted in Germany (and other parts of Europe) (such as complete exclusion of liability). We do not want to judge whether this is more a theoretical or a really practical problem. However, the companies themselves have now the option to decide and to choose.

Thanks.  So you're saying that some European companies have been reluctant to put work under an OSS license because of this specific issue?
