Scottish Creative Commons license, attribution or attribution-sharealike.
(Drafted with our assistance. And I believe 100% free. And in fairly "plain

6.5 This Licence is governed by the law of Scotland and the parties accept the
exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of Scotland to decide any action or
