[License-review] Submitting CC0 for OSI approval

[Rick Moen]

Quoting Richard Fontana (rfontana at redhat.com):

Another very good point.  I hope Creative Commons representatives will
address the matter, and also that CC as a whole might consider whether
that clause might be dropped without doing harm to the fallback
licence's intent.
