We have before.  The challenge, of course, is that the authoritative 
license text needs sufficient review, which can be challenging in 
non-English licenses.  Doubly so here, where the entire reason for the 
license is because of a difference between American and German law; 
we'll need opinions from more than one source that the difference is 
both significant, and that this license cures the difference.
