There's no question in the US. I'm not convinced by "We believe that
licensing updates that do not fundamentally alter the spirit of the
license and that are permitted through the license itself are legally
valid in all jurisdictions." (the FAQ) I don't hold much stock by
"belief", I'd rather here from somebody that actually knows about each
jurisdiction (at least, the ones where we have a major presence, every
single one would be impractical).
