I vaguely recall seeing the argument made that the (sometimes ignored) GPL requirement

a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.

is intended in part to address the moral rights issue: if my changes to your program break it, it should be made clear that you are not to blame.

I think that this was in some interminable debian-legal discussion where someone claimed that the above requirement curtails freedom somehow.
