If you mean in exactly the same sense that an author waives
his exclusive rights when he allows a publisher to print and
sell his books, fine.

Words have connotations. You are using "waive" to imply that
the copyright holders are relinquishing rights to their work.
I am using "authorize" to emphasize that they are doing no
such thing.
