Ralph - I think it's worth noting more strongly that the courts of appeals are geographical, and how rulings work. Rulings from the same circuit tend to be adhered to, and rulings from other circuits tend to be persuasive but are not binding.
Combined with different state laws, this is why you often get EULA's specifying they're under the laws of certain American states which have made rulings which suit the EULA.
Also, Ralph, Vernor v Autodesk is being heard by the 9th Circuit's Court of Appeals, which is almost certain to produce a solid opinion on some of these issues (And it's significant because it's the largest Circuit, and is liberal-leaning).
