I'll be more explicit.

Show me where there's a link to the "legal code":

    https://creativecommons.org/choose/zero/

I'll be even more explicit.  Your description of how to find the legal
code for CC licenses does not apply to CC0.

Sure . . . except for little things like "Can I deploy this through
iTunes?"  The summaries suggest that, for instance, CC-BY and CC-BY-SA
can, but the actual legal text includes terms that make that
questionable.
