"Governing law" in license agreements

["Hinojosa, Rogelio H." <rhinojosa@tamiu.edu>]

Can you share your approach to clauses regarding "governing law" 
or jurisdiction in license agreements you have in place with 
database suppliers? It seems that in most cases a standard 
license agreement identifies that the governing law is that of 
the state where the vendor is located. Do you usually accept this 
provision as presented? Or do you ask vendors to make changes to 
this type of clause? And if so, what type of changes do you 
request in this regard?

Thank you in advance for your input,
