Re: [License-discuss] OSI approved license without original license and reproduction of notices required in redistributions?

[Bruce Perens]

There are two different fundamental forms of copyright regime. One is based upon the right to copy, and the other is based upon the moral rights of authors. A number of European nations, for example, are moral rights regimes, while the U.S. is based upon the right to copy.

However, even in the United States, there is moral rights law, but it is often in state law. For example, the California Art Preservation Act. <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Art_Preservation_Act>

The reasoning behind it is to give credit to the authors. To ensure that happens, the law make it as a statutory requirement. The author cannot waive this right.
