Actually, in this case, our purposes are 100% perfectly aligned. The understanding that many people have about this is flawed.
The CC 3.0 Attribution license is fine. I wish the passage in question were more clearly worded, sure. But there has been absolutely no intention to have moral rights arbitrarily extended into new areas.
The basic concept is... there were concerns that failing to acknowledge moral rights in jurisdictions which have them could possibly invalidate the license. So the intention is to have the license explicitly mention them and indicate that they exist, without adding anything new at all.
