What I should have said is the final authority on the meaning of a
license is the highest court in the jurisdiction in which you are being
sued over it. So, yes, for you the final authority is a Belgian court,
for me its the Supreme Court of the US. If the Project (or, rather, SPI)
were sued, it'd also be the SCOTUS.
