> Public domain. Concise. Effective. Choose any two. A workaround to the "concise" problem would be a commonly understood convention for indicating that a file is CC0 with a single line comment. The officially recommended boilerplate for CC0 is painfully cumbersome: https://wiki.creativecommons.org/wiki/CC0_FAQ#May_I_apply_CC0_to_computer_software.3F_If_so.2C_is_there_a_recommended_implementation.3F https://wiki.creativecommons.org/wiki/CC0_FAQ#May_I_apply_CC... Something like this: // Available under http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0 Come to think of it, it sure would be nice if "Available under [URL]" came to be a convention for FOSS licensing in general. I'm choosing "available" rather than "licensed" because it seems as though it would be generalizable to both copyright licenses and public domain dedications. (Caveat: though I'm fairly familiar with FOSS licensing for a layperson, I'm not a lawyer and so this would need to be reviewed by a lawyer to ensure for drafting soundness.)
