The problem is that the plain text of some versions of the licence
reads very like a violation of the required "for any purpose" - it
seems to make moral rights required by law anyway into terms of usage
that would apply in countries not using such moral rights.

Perhaps there's a legal sleight of hand that can be applied so this
can be neutralised, but the text is certainly not clear on this. I
would strongly suggest a clarified version.
