Very nice, except BRL is located in New Zealand.
I think this entire discussion is overkill. As FD said, 2 incidents in 6 years is not that many, and more importantly, a license is not going to have more weight than local legislation. More importantly it's a waste of time when most countries have IP legislation.
Either you do it right(agreement to transfer of jurisdiction(void in EU), rights defined(void in pretty much any WIPO country),liability defined(void pretty much anywhere), which may but propably wont protect BRL anyway.
IT'll be much cheaper to simply hire a local lawyer in russia and have him send a cease and desist letter.
