H'mm - you're free to insult me unless I say otherwise.  Sounds good.

And they have a waiver of Integrity:

"Except as otherwise agreed by the Original Author, the Moral Right of
Integrity associated with the Work being licensed is expressly waived.
This means the Original Author is not reserving the ability to prevent
downstream creators from engaging in material distortion or modification
of the work that may be prejudicial to the Original Author?s honour or
reputation, including associating the Work with a particular product,
service, cause or institution."

Not sure about the "except as otherwise agreed" part, though. Free terms
in contracts always set off alarm bells for me. :-)
