[License-discuss] OSI approved license without original license and reproduction of notices required in redistributions?

[Bruce Perens]

There are two different fundamental forms of copyright regime. One is 
based upon the right to copy, and the other is based upon the moral 
rights of authors. A number of European nations, for example, are moral 
rights regimes, while the U.S. is based upon the right to copy.

However, even in the United States, there is moral rights law, but it is 
often in state law. For example, the California Art Preservation Act.
