I disagree. If your local jurisdiction does not deal with software licences regularly, then how they chose to interpret them is unknown. So you may end up in an expensive court fight. With a known jurisdiction building a solid corpus of precedent and case law then there are fewer unknowns.

It's really the same as corporate incorporation - you chose a jurisdiction with a solid corpus of precedent and case law to avoid court cases. that's why most folk chose Delaware for the US.

I maybe looking at it from a point of view of being in a legal system (the UK) that I have reasonable confidence in with regard to most civil cases. I always prefer contracts to specify England ans Wales as the jurisdiction, for example.
