<p>HI Lua,<br>
</p>
<p>I've forwarded your request up the chain of responsibility. It
might reach our lawyers, it might not. If you don't hear anything
within 6 months, consider the answer as being no.<br>
</p>
<p> -- Greg<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">However, our business policies require that
I ask your legal team even if the answer we receive is no.
I’m aware this is a time-consuming pursuit that will likely
end in folly. That being said, given that I’m sure your
university has the same sovereign immunity, would you please
ask if “and without waiving sovereign immunity” can be added,
the attorney’s fees struck, and the Governing Law
<i>remain silent</i> instead of listing a particular state as
is suggested in the red lines? I understand this will likely
take some time to get a response from your legal team, as it
takes a while to get a response from our legal team.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p>This is not an official response. So we can ask, but I'm
sure the answer will be no, it is not acceptable to change
our license. We are also a university with the same
sovereign immunity. And keep in mind, involving our
university's lawyers means that you might not get an answer
for many months. So I hope you're not in a hurry. And our
lawyers choose the wording in our license. Do you still
wish to pursue this folly?<o:p></o:p></p>

University of Science and Technology would like to use
your software. Our attorney reviewed the non-commercial
software license agreement, and is requesting the legal

as other modifications. Due to the University being an
instrumentality of the state of Missouri and having
sovereign immunity under Missouri and federal law, we are
not authorized to waive our legal jurisdiction (See Fowler
v. Board of Regents, 637 S.W.2d 352 (Mo.App. 1982)).
