Then it's part of Article 9 "Right of reproduction"

(1) Authors of literary and artistic works protected by this Convention 
shall have the exclusive right of authorizing the reproduction of these 
works, in any manner or form.

Since the Berne convention is about literary and artistic work, it may not 
apply to software, but this is just to point out that the concept of the 
author (rather than the owner of rights) being the ultimate authority is 
well established.
