CC0 gives a complete (to the extent permissible by law) waiver of copyright rights, as

that there is not copyright rights being conveyed. Does anyone believe that that waiver 
is ineffective?


Gee, if only legal-review had approved CC0 as an open source license, it would 
be a potential option. ;)



As it stands, the board's public position to not recommend using CC0 on 
software [1] due to its patent clause makes it problematic.
