I've just seen this is happening:
https://github.com/asaunders/public-domain-customized
Custom Dedication: Open Source is a modified CC0 that addresses the
patent rights issue. (there are more differences than just strike "or

It's amazing and very valuable that authors with legal background are
interested to draft open source licenses in the open, as difficult as it
has to be for them.
