Well, it gives him more rights than US law, which has no concept of moral rights. > These moral rights are: > * The respect of the name of the author and his quality.

I mean, to me the name of Joerg Schilling carries the connotation of "loudmouthed pompous hack who believes his code is perfect in defiance of reality", and the quality I associate with it is "poor, because he doesn't care about fixing bugs for real users". Does that mean that cdrkit could infringe his moral rights because it would cause his name to be associated with some code that was better than cdrtools? Who decides what constitutes a lack of respect for the "name of the author"? -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
