The FLA is an agreement between a German organization (that is, the KDE e.V.) 
and the licensor (that is, the contributor who is handing the fiduciary 
license to the licensee). That makes Scottish norms irrelevant -- and part of 
this discussion, too, since it's about what the *e.V.* will (or can) accept. I 
don't know if the FLA contains, off-hand, choice-of-jurisdiction phrasing. 
It's certainly something to discuss with one of our tame lawyers (who are not 
our lawyers in a formal sense).
