I am not a lawyer (as is probably already clear), but what is the situation of I release a work under the England and Wales licence, but wish to obtain remedy in (say) the US?

Should I release under multiple licences (for each country where I might wish to seek remedy) or will I have to seek remedy in the English courts against an infringer in another country?

Might it be possible to have a generic EU licence, albeit in multiple languages?

Regards
