RE: U of Chicago License

Jennifer,

We are required by our university purchasing regulations to change the
"governing law" provision in license agreements so that our agreements
will be governed by the laws of the State of Illinois. I don't recall any
vendor ever really objecting to this.

You might want to take a look at the following from the liblicense Web
site for some info:

Please forgive me if this has already been discussed, but I am hoping you
can lend some advice.  We would like to go ahead and sign the license
agreement for electronic journals from University of Chicago Press, but
the final clause, "This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the
State of Illinois and the United States....," is bothersome as our
institution is in Wisconsin.  How have other institutions handled this
clause?

Thank you!

Jenifer Holman
