Can we get a vague show of hands about what people think of this? I
don't think its worth discussing for more than a day or so. If this
issue is too contentious, we can let contributors decide with an
option on their user page or something.

If hardly anyone cares about moral rights, I'm happy to abandon them
in the name of making progress. (I want to make maps, not licenses
damnit!)
