A typical CC license is about choosing a range of permissions while retaining copyright. CC0 is about opting out of all of the exclusive rights automatically granted to creators. |
Might as well release it as Public Domain if you give up all rights.
Also even CC is simply a variation of Copyright as a template for the hard of thinking and often isn't what people think. The rights holder has always been able to set any legal conditions and give up any rights.
Disagree with the US Corporate driven extension of rights? Just put in copyright "This work enters the Public Domain <NN> years after the author's death", or "This work enters the Public Domain in 20<nn>"
As long as it's less or equal to current term it's perfectly legal.
