Regardless of DFSG, is this a practical problem for debian mirrors?

Termination of copyright licence for patent action, including
counter-claims in defence. I still think this is too broad. If there
aren't any patents afflicting the software, it's bending DSFG 9
(contaminate other software, by removing some ways to defend your
software against patent claims) even if it arguably doesn't break it.
I'll be glad if other problems mean that we don't have to debate this
too much again, unless someone has new data.
11) Jurisdiction, Venue and Governing Law. Any action or suit relating

business [...]
Is this choice of venue?
