My understanding is that when one uses/redistributes/whatever JtR, their
local copyright law applies - and a large percentage of JtR users are in
the US (more than e.g. in Russia, I guess). Also, due to international
treaties, copyright laws of many countries are quite similar now. That
said, as I wrote "things may vary by jurisdiction."

No.
