First, I think there has been some misreading of the
license terms.
Please trust me that CC does not support "moral rights," and that
these are
complex matters.
The clause in question merely says that the license does not seek to
invalidate or interfere with moral rights.
Forget everything you've talked about with the writers. Forget about
intentions and principles and trust and all of that. Now read the
actual words of the clause. How do you interpret the plain English
wording?
