That language is baffling to me. I agree with you that having it
there effectively negates the moral rights waiver as to integrity.
But it doesn't make any sense to have it there: it makes that entire
clause (4d) into empty words.

The only reason I can see to have such language is that it's a
drafting error -- it's an echo of the words in (4c), where they are
usefull meaningful.

If I'm wrong about that language, and the goal really was to insert
something like an IN license element, this strikes me as an awful way
of doing it -- better to have one version that's an explicit waiver
with no exceptions, and one version that has no waiver at al (perhaps
subject to an "except as otherwise agreed" clause)
