As I understand it, what the moral rights rule does is to make any 
contract not to assert moral rights void, in that respect.  You can 
still choose to not assert them at a particular time,  but the recipient 
has no come back, if you subsequently do assert them.

Regarding another comment, I would say that would mean a promise not to 
assert them is not enforceable.

IANAL.
