I mentioned a Wikisource-specific old decision, but that's always been 
the established policy on all WMF wikis, which has just been confirmed 
by the new terms of use draft: «For clarity, applicable law includes at 
least the laws of the United States of America» 
(<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Terms_of_use#1._Our_Services>).
I'm not expressing an opinion about this, I've just remembered that 
you're not trying to prevent a possible future decision but to overturn 
an old established one, so it will be more difficult than you envision.
