My point of view is that the proposed license update is a violation of the
moral rights of the contributors.  If Mike is going to deny that moral
rights exist in the first place, then I feel the need to explain that they
do.

I guess I could just ignore this point, as rather self-evidently false, but
I was also interested in why he felt that way.

Anyway, I don't know where this leaves us.  At least one moderator has
suggested that this needs to stop, so it's unclear whether it's possible to
discuss this issue at all.
