Does it apply to moral rights codified in a licence, e.g. some of the CC 3.0 licenses? Are those free-enough or not? There's lots of discussions on Commons talk:Licensing, but surely a Commons talk page shouldn't be setting WMF-wide policy on such a matter.
Only if the license establishes restrictions _beyond_ the existing moral rights. If it merely recognizes whichever rights a jurisdiction grants, I do not see an issue with it.
I'm not convinced that the current CC licenses establish any new restrictions, and those who claim that they do should take that discussion directly to Creative Commons. There is no malicious intent here on the part of CC, and so I don't see why people don't try to work out any issues that there may be directly with the people who _wrote_ the license.
