Aside from Rob's objections, all of which I agree with, you would also 
need to obtain permission from a BSD foundation to call this license 
"0BSD" anything, or you'd have to change the name.  Rob did get that 
permission.

That aside: why are you doing this?  It's not the goal of the OSI to 
have licenses for every possible combination of conditions; if they 
wanted that, the OSI could just build its own license-generating LLM and 
be done with it.  So, do you have a specific use for a license with 
patent grants and no attribution?  Can  you describe that use?
