No, I am not trying to bend someone to my way of thinking, I am asking how 
things work where moral rights are in play. I am trying to learn.

In fact, from what I gather people are saying, where moral rights exist, 
their 
effects cannot be removed from the CC licenses in any easy manner. One of the 
things I am doing is trying to determine if they can be removed/negated in a 
difficult manner.

I am also having the discussion to try and determing if I think they should 
be 
negated, left alone, or even strenghtend.

I am leaning towards megated, at least in the case of the copyleft leaning SA 
licenses as a result of what I percieve to be their chilling effects on those 
wishing to build on the works of others.

However, I am more than open to being persuaded otherwise.

all the best,
