CC0 (the "legal code") doesn't say "this isn't copyrighted" (though
the "human readable summary" has a "No Copyright" label); rather it
says "this may be copyrighted" and has language trying to achieve as
broad a waiver of copyright rights as possible.

I don't think it would make sense for OSI to review a portion of an
integral legal document like CC0. Either review for
certification/approval the whole thing or not at all.
