Adding to the other comments already made:

There have not been cases for "software" based on this moral rights, 
AFAIK only for "literature".

So most law systems make a distinction between those two.
It is true that this is an area where we could continue the
lawmaking debate, but it is not relevant much for the current practice.
Its danger dimished in comparision to the current threats to Free Software.
