Hey Richard,
if I maintain a small piece of software upstream that was licensed as CC0, what are Fedora's recommendation for an alternative? 0BSD?
I don't know if Fedora has an opinion on this but in a Red Hat context, years ago I used to recommend CC0 for certain kinds of things. These days in similar situations (Involving code, at least) I have typically been recommending MIT No Attribution (SPDX: MIT-0) https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT-0
As the name suggests, it's the MIT license but with the notice preservation requirement removed. Very similar conceptually to Zero-Clause BSD (SPDX: 0BSD), which I would be less inclined to recommend primarily because I don't like the name, since it's actually based on the ISC license. :-)
Thanks.
