UN CISG

Having searched the liblicense-l archives with little success for this
issue, I'm wondering if any list members would have any advice on the
following.  Our organisation has been presented with a licence for
database access which contains a clause specifically stating that the
"United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of
Goods" shall not apply.  I have never previously come across this wording
in a license agreement for scientific information.  Would anyone know what
impact, for good or ill, signing up to this would have? The governing law
for the agreement is The Netherlands.  Both Australia and the Netherlands
are signatories to this Convention.
