Abstract
In The Canterville Ghost, Oscar Wilde wrote: “We have really everything in common with America nowadays except, of course, language.” It is quite possible that the analytical techniques of English and American lawyers were not uppermost in his mind when he composed that famous line but, on the evidence of Jacobsen v Katzer and Kamind Associates1, it remains surprisingly accurate; there appears to be a distinct difference between how lawyers on each side of the Pond would approach the interpretation of the same, relatively simple, FOSS licence.
