No one wants to attack French moral rights, or
the attack the idiosyncrasies
of
any particular legal jurisdiction. What we want
to do is curate a large
international collection of free content that will remain free content 300
years
from now after all of us are dead and can no
longer be personally vigilant
regarding those who might try to restrict the descendants of our collected
content from others. What is it that you want to do?

No one ? I would not say so. I would rather say that 75.8% (1) want to
attack moral rights, which are not French only (3), and, as I showed
in my previous mail, are a value taken into account in Wikimedia
projects in such documents as
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/COM:OTRS#Declaration_of_consent_for_all_e…
s
It might have become a core value of the Wikimedia communities. But if
community leaders lead the community into the wrong way... you end up
with a 75.8 majority going into the wrong way.
It is not reasonable to believe the underlying desire there is to make an attack
French moral rights. Please try to be accurate and stop making such spurious
accusations.
