legally use it in many situations. What do people think about using CC-Zero
as a license? Now that's free software!
I'm not sure that's true at all. The MIT license is pretty much a proper
subset of CC-BY-SA, i.e., it has less restrictions and the restrictions it
has are in CC-BY-SA anyway. People are lying to you. ;)
