Rick,
CC is a cultural works organization and I agree it doesn't appear that
they intended software to be the main use of CC0. But artistic works can
be infringing of machine, process, and composition patents, especially
the leading-edge stuff that CC is so often applied to. Quantel, for
example, tried to patent some digital paint-brush effects.
Thanks
Bruce
