That doesn't say that an author can't waive it. <br>

<div>Art. 5. The title of an intellectual work, always

No person may take the title of a work, even if
that work is no longer protected under articles 21
and 22, to designate a work of the same type if the
use of such title could give rise to confusion.
Art. 6. The author has the right to respect for
his name, his status and his works.
This right is vested in his person.

third person by testamentary disposition.</div>

<div>An affirmative patent grant might be a useful
differentiation from the other licenses, but he's not there
yet.

</div>
<div>As I think we have made clear every time a newby
approaches license-discuss the license _user_ community,
the developers themselves, are in general poorly educated
on license issues and for the most part uninterested in
improving that education, they want to program or be
users. Which is fine, we need that. But it means we should
do a little more to make sure they understand some of the
implications of the license, for example that they don't,
or at least don't reliably get the right to claim
authorship of the work.

<div>Thus, an explanatory text that is separate from the
license but easily available might be of value.</div>

Are there jurisdictions that do not allow you to waive
attribution?<br>
<br>
I would also like to see an explanation of how all the other
licenses <br>
that attempt to achieve this fail, and how this license has
remedied <br>
their flaws.<br>
