It wouldn't make a difference in the US, here most 'moral rights' are
limited to 'visual works'--not including software.  Other countries, and
some states, might have more protective laws.  There might be an unfair
trade remedy if someone is passing off their proprietary code as your code,
etc.  But 'moral rights' isn't really an option in the US to protect the
integrity or authorship of code.
