All Scandinavians know that a Ø is pronounced like the 'i' in 'Sir'.

"CC-ih" ?


[Not directed towards kjetil in particular]
I'm not sure everyone would pick up on that, might be easier if we just refer to it as "CC-none" or "CC-released"  or something of the s ort, rather than "CC-Ø". Licensing is hard enough for newbies (even for oldbies!) and there's so much confusion over which CC licenses are accepted, it's easier for us to say "we accept CC-by, CC-by-sa, and CC-none" than it is to use "CC-Ø". Not everyone using keyboards without the Ø character wants to memorise and then type "Alt+0216" to produce it, or wants to have to copypaste every time they want to mention it ;)
