I think CC0 is fine. The objective should be to make material freely available, and you canât do better than CC0 to remove all conditions.

Subject: Adding CC-0 to OASIS Open Projects
[EXTERNAL MESSAGE]
One of our current Open Projects needs to set up a repo under the CC-0 license, which is not one of the seven OASIS currently supports. (The OP wants to accept a major technical contribution from a large auditing firm which has a conflict-of-interest policy that requires them to only contribute under CC-0.)
Before we recommend to the OASIS Board that CC-0 be added, we wanted to see if Advisory Council members have any thoughts--pro or con--on CC-0.
This is very time-sensitive, so please let us know as soon as possible if you have any views on this.
Many thanks,
Carol
