Maybe under UK law it is possible to waive moral

it isn't.
The restrictions those inalienable moral rights place on what you can do
with the work aren't any different from the restrictions Dutch (and other
countries) laws place on the use of the work.
However, the wording of the licenses appears to place usage
restrictions upon the works in countries where those laws do not
apply.
If this is not the case, I eagerly await Joichi's clarification and
explanation, as noted.
If those restrictions are the
reason to not accept 3.0, than we shouldn't accept any "free" pictures
from
the Netherlands (and other countries), since the moral rights connected to
these "free" pictures can never be waived.
You may think you're presenting that as a reductio ad absurdum, but
this is actually a serious possibility.
