Dear Rob,

I agree with you, integrity should be part of the licence. Although there is
a possibility that adding the integrity element to the licence may give
people the wrong idea, I think that it is more consistent with UK
legislation, as the integrity right is a default by law. I believe that this
is generally incompatible with other elements of the licence, such as the
permission to allow adaptations of the work, because in fact what will
happen is that creators will maintain the right to object to derogatory
treatment in later adaptations. This can be fixed with making the waiver a
part of the licence. 

I know that the licence is launched on Monday and that this is very late,
but perhaps it is not too late to add it. 

BTW, good luck to all on Monday!

Andres

The Canadian licenses have gone live (news via Corey on Boing Boing:
http://www.boingboing.net/2004/09/30/canadian_creative_co.html). 

CC-CA have a good page on Integrity:

http://www.cippic.ca/en/projects-cases/icommons-canada/moral-rights.html

I found the following quote interesting:

"The right of integrity also protects creators from having their works
associated with products, services, causes or institutions that would harm
their honour or reputation. In Creative Commons-speak this is called the
INTEGRITY licence element. Note: This element is currently being proposed
and is not yet available."

Given that there may well be an IN element, re-reading the original debate
on this list, the Canadian page and Corey's argument(s), the case *in favour
of* waivers for integrity and (when non-BY?) paternity now seems quite
compelling.  

- Rob.
