Is it possible to have the contract be explicitly split into two wordings, one for each legal system?

[patmorgan23]

Probably not. It's so much easier to choose one jurisdiction and do everything there. For multinationals they'll set up a legal entity in each jurisdiction and rewrite their agreements to be compliant in each place.

International law sucks and it's 100x more expensive than enforcing a domestic agreement.

That probably depends on the legal systems in question.

There are more than two legal systems in the world.

I think the GP was assuming there's only two parties to a contract, thus only two jurisdictions need to be considered.

[jkaplowitz]

And yet, free and open source software licenses are meant for licensors and licensees from around the world, so far more than just two jurisdictions for any of the common licenses, and rarely for only one or two jurisdictions even for more custom licenses except in the case where the license is different per jurisdiction or where almost all (licensor, licensee) pairs are in one or two jurisdictions.

Yep
