Not that I can recall. :-) Out of fear of that very result, though, I support increased infrastructure spending by our government. But I don't stress out every time I drive over a bridge or when I use open source software that is owned by an individual who wants to reserve her moral rights. Indeed, I respect moral rights in the ways that I license and use open source software and I advise respectful attribution whenever appropriate. Does the protection of moral rights require anything onerous of you?
