I think there are a half-dozen approaches to copyright dedication,
and great many software developers use "unlicense" over CC0 instead 
since it's more in the *spirit* of BSD: short and to the point.  It 
would be very nice to have one that is prepared by legal professionals.
I think if both the OSI and the FSF backed a single dedication /w 
fallback license, you'd see people use it.

Best,
