&gt; CC0 might be very long but in my opinion it&#x27;s the better choice for creative work that is not Software. MIT and BSD specifically mention &quot;software&quot; and&#x2F;or &quot;documentation&quot; and might not apply to other works in some legislation.<p>My main contention with CC0 for software is that it explicitly states that patents are not affected by the license. Other than that, CC0 is probably the only good way of releasing code into the public domain (or something like it). The FSF and CC people agree about that too.
