European laws apply in Europe. They have no impact on me.
Continental European copyright law cannot be transferred, only a subset of usage rights can be. This very much applies to you if you intend to distribute material to European readers under legally valid terms. The FSF Europe has come up with a special agreement for Europeans to transfer usage rights (instead of copyright) to the GNU project, called the "Fiduciary License Agreement":
