For example, if the users Localization is set to German, can this panel show only this license and not the Language choice pop-up menu? Either way, I still must be able to tell which choice was made for when a user serializes the product or contacts support. The lawyers say, "translated license agreements are not compatible with each- other." How would this help? Say I'm an Austrian using a language setting of German. Then I would see the license agreement for Germany, which would probably not apply to me as an Austrian, at least not fully. Or say I'm a venezuelian using Spanish as my preferred language. I'm prety sure that venezualian law differes from spanish law. Maybe you should ask you lawyers about that. Venezuelia The main problem here IMHO is not language but jurisdiction. I don't think Mac OS X has any way of knowing which countries law apply to a user. Neither the location of the machine (which is not generally known to the machine other than maybe the time zone), nor the language setting of the user are more than indicative of which law might apply. And what about my Armenian collegue who is using the same machine under his user account with his langauge preference? When I install the software in /Applications under my German language account, accepting the German license terms, how would these apply to him? Maybe the license agreements should be written to accomodate the difficulties, telling the user to refer to the appropriate version. In that case having the popup menu is actually a very useful feature. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
