Having been through the great license shift in OpenStreetMap, I think we should use cc0 as far as we can. It remains my suggestion that any tool should demand cc0, but of course that will be the choice of the tool developer.
For what it's worth, I disagree. I think by default tools should suggest attribution licenses (e.g. CC-BY). Copyleft (e.g. CC-BY-SA) makes sense for many works too, though it may not be necessary for one word.
Attribution is not too much to ask for. Most big works already have an attribution page somewhere.
