Like the rights of attribution and non-attribution? Most "moral rights", like those, are great and we encourage them for programs too. They don't interfere with the DFSG freedoms at all. The "moral right" to prevent a work from being "damaged" or "desecrated", etc., is appropriate for one-of-a-kind artworks, but is totally inappropriate for anything which is infinitely copiable. -- There are none so blind as those who will not see.
