In fact, if you make a distro law compliant with all countries and tell
that to users, you can open the way to this case :
The user can claim that he was in confidence to apply the law of his
"ABC country" (US for example ;-) ) because he used Mageia ... As
Mageia had claimed it was compliant with all laws ... therefore it was
compliant with the law of it's country ABC. If Mageia make a mistake in
it's law compliancy ... it take a risk, and the association take a risk
... and the developpers of Mageia taking a risk of a pursuit in the
country ABC.
So ... a good reason to choice to not be compliant will all law, but
only 1 law well understood by the association.
After, a local Mageia-ABC-association can tell wich package replace for
compliancy with ABC law ...
