Probably depends what court you sue in.  An Australian court is
unlikely to accept the validity of a contract which is unlawful in
Australia.

However, I find it unlikely that Australia bans the grant of
non-exclusive licenses over the Internet.  That would seriously screw
up e-commerce to the point of ludicrousness.  Not to mention kill all
open source projects (the ODbL, as well as CC-BY-SA, GPL, GFDL, etc.
are all non-exclusive licenses).
