Fair enough, you believe that morally wrong actions (such as
distortion of your words) usually take care of themselves. I don't,
and I'd rather have moral rights explicitly excluded from
transferable copyright. Particularly given my position with open access.
I changed your words, as an illustration of what might happen should you have transferred your copyright lock stock and barrel. Only granting a third party partial rights, such as dissemination and exploitation rights, and never transferring copyright, is the safer option if one cares about moral rights.
