I would also be interested in this.

I have previously heard the objection that some open source licenses 
conflict with people's moral rights. In law there are also certain 
rights that cannot be given away even by contract, but I don't know 
where common open source licenses would violate these rights (I am not a 
Lawyer, though).

I would be very interested in a link that explains which moral rights 
exactly are violated by which terms of one of the more common licenses 
but are not violated by, for example licensing a piece of software in a 
commercial fashion for others to build on, because I am trying to better 
understand this objection.

Thanks and Regards
Christian
