Maybe under UK law it is possible to waive moral rights, but under Dutch law 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.
