- creatonez 5y agoI believe it is. Note that 0BSD is not related to the other BSD licenses, but is rather textually derived from the ISC license. The ISC license is pretty much just "what if we took MIT, and removed all the text that is already implied in most jurisdictions?" So 0BSD is to MIT-0 as ISC is to MIT. Just a less verbose alternative.

- creatonez 5y agoUnlicense is known to have problems in some jurisdictions. There was a discussion about this on the OSI mailing listing years ago.

- ghaff 5y agoAnd there’s also the anti-copyright ideological baggage associated with unlicense. To round it out there’s also CC0 but OSI objected to the explicit lack of patent grant language even though patent grants are often assumed.
