My point was simply that it _does not matter_! *Whether or not a license explicitly says so*, if you are in the US you are required to comply, if you are not in the US, you are not. IMHO it was meaningless to include this clause in the plan 9 license but "it does no harm". Rejecting the license as not open on the basis of this clause also does not make sense.
