No, I'm sorry but that is not correct - at least not in Sweden, and I do 
suspect that other European countries have similar rules. A copyright 
holder in Sweden is never bound by a general waiver of moral rights. He 
may only waive his moral rights in a limited fashion. A waiver in a CC 
license would not be considered to be in a limited fashion.
