I grant you that, but as Chris pointed out the proposed change may
actually have a net negative effect, namely bringing those outside the
reach of the American legal system withing it, and at the same time not
doing anything for other silly legal systems.

I, and I think most others, don't have a problem with repeating the
existing boilerplate with s/Regents of the University of
California/various contributors/g.
