Only some countries claim Moral Rights. And as you point out, this is
very problemmatic for Open Source Software. We have traditionally held
that a license is a license is a license, but it's clear that OSI
Approved Open Source contributions from people who live in countries
that claim Moral Rights is inferior to people who live in countries
which don't.
