    ...local license adapted to the conditions there, with every little detail thrown in. We're about elegance. We try to use the absolute minimum, because we're offering one license for use everywhere, giving the maximum amount of freedom to every user. So the simpler things are the more compatible they are with our needs. Conclusion: in order to be "compatible" in the strict sense, we need paragraph 7 to remove the choice of law clause.

Nevertheless, the entire implementation was quite easy. Results PyDrone took about 3 months of development time, another 3 months of QA, and 3 weeks of documentation tim...
