I am not a lawyer, I am not CC.

Yes, you are correct. Some international versions of the licenses 
explicitly reserve moral rights, but the original licenses are silent 
on them so they default to the baseline, which is that you have kept 
and can assert your moral rights.

I haven't heard of anyone trying this yet, though. And it does go 
against the principle of copyleft if the license is SA.
