Making a contract is no violation of the Berne Convention (and
"contract" doesn't mean you have always to sign anything). There are
different ways to implement the rules of the Berne Convention, and
there are a lot of countries who did the way Germany did. And a lot of
countries with another way. We live in a true multilateral world, at
least within Debian.
