Another aspect I'm wondering at is what is allowed when there are more
jurisdictions applicable. The article suggests that an author gains moral
rights in some jurisdictions, where he hasn't got them in his own country
(jurisdiction). This is caused by the part "jurisdiction in which the moral
right of integrity exist". If that juridisdiction is the jurisdiction where
the work is used, than suddenly moral rights have to be respected although
in his own jurisdiction, the author might not have moral rights at all. I'm
not sure that's the intention of the license.


Copyright law is always national. A French authors work(s), published in
France, will be protected by Dutch laws in the Netherlands, German laws
in Germany etc.

I'm not sure international private law rules are always that simple. (French moral rights applied to one of John Houston's movies).
And the Share Alike CCi interoperability clause makes possible to license a derivative work under another CCi country license.

Since the license lets moral right be it would seem that
an author from for example the US would gain moral rights when asserting
his rights in, let say, Sweden. However, that is not necessarily the
case... Sweden, as does most other countries, only grants foreign
authors those rights that the foreign authors own country grants Swedish
authors. If the US does not grant moral rights to foreign authors then
US authors are not granted any moral rights in Sweden. Since it's quite
possible to discriminate once own authors and give foreign authors
*more* rights than native authors, one would have to check the copyright
legislation of both the country offering protection (the "jurisdiction
in which the moral right of integrity exist") *and* the rules of the
country in which the licensor lives to be able to know whether or not
the license lets a licensor gain moral rights or not.
