Development of Creative Commons licenses

[James Grimmelmann <james.grimmelmann AT gmail.com>]

http://www.cippic.ca/en/projects-cases/icommons-canada/ says

"*Please note that the Canadian creator moral right of attribution is
retained while the right of integrity is expressely waived in all
versions of the cc-ca licence 2.4. To learn more about the moral
rights automatically granted to Canadian creators, we encourage you to
read our Moral Rights FAQ.*"

The FAQ is not so clear on this point, but from what I can tell
browsing the public web pages, the IN appears to be only an element
under discussion -- and one that was rejected for purposes of the
licenses available through CC.  If you go through the license picker
and choose "Canada" as your jurisdiction, you get a license that
explicitly waives all moral rights of integrity.
