The Open Source Initiative doesn't seem to really
like the idea:
<http://opensource.org/faq#cc-zero>.
A number of former and current contributors (notably Lee Daniel Crocker)
have released their creative works and inventions into the public domain:
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Lee_Daniel_Crocker>.
I've always found CC-Zero and its surrounding arguments to be pretty
stupid. I release most of the code I write into the public domain
(though most of it lacks sufficient creativity in any case).
My understanding is that CC-Zero exists *because "the public domain" does
not exist in the IP law of many countries*.
Cheers,
