Even the heading is wrong.
She is generally thought to know something about these matters. Are you saying that what she has written here is entirely wrong, or just that it's inapplicable to Europe?
It's inapplicable to Europe
Do you have a reference for how and why this is different in Europe?
My lawyer told me that the claims from the US do not apply to Europe and from a talk to one of my collegues who is a US lawyer, it seems that the US law system requires a contract to have benefits for both sides and that the US law system clams that this is not the case for a contract used in a license.
Fun, this is the first notion I hear of open source licenses being completely illegal, but it's surely fun to read this, makes you and all your claims vastly more believable!
