Consider FSF / OSI approved 0BSD or MIT0 instead of CC0

ignoramous opened this issue · 2 comments

CC0 (public domain dedication as a fallback) isn't legal in all jurisdictions (France and Germany from the top of my head) and some FOSS projects (ex: Fedora) and corps (ex: Google) ban CC0-licensed code (as they see it more of a content / art license): https://archive.is/ukIC5

Here's an interesting discussion on suitability of CC0 (does not wavier patent rights) and Unlicense (attempts public domain dedication) for code: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30554087

General recommendation is to use 0BSD / MIT0: https://archive.is/6YgVt

IANAL.

Thanks, one of my reason choosing CC0 is so the github UI directly shows the rights and obligations, but apparently other licenses would work as well. I'll update it now

Gotcha.
