Citations also needed for waiving of moral rights being illegal; almost no moral rights applying in the USA and that they can be waived in Canada http://preview.tinyurl.com/3bbnf3; and moral rights only protecting against libel (stronger than prejudicial to honor or reputation) which would make them redundant. Stallman's comment at http://preview.tinyurl.com/3ynv35 is not specifically about version 3, but he writes that because the rights in that case is limited based on the country you're in, he doesn't support it. Using the FSF's definition, only CC3.us and CC3.ca is free. The commons community must decide if allowing non-free CC3s is acceptable.
The answer to your last question is a flat "no." The only pass is for WMF logos, etc. used across projects.
Saying "but some countries' courts might not like it if we didn't put in a morals clause" doesn't make it magically a free license.
