Hello Ben and Gioele,

Just to clarify, the “machine readable debian/copyright file” specification,
developped as “DEP 5”, is a stardard, but its use is not mandatory.  The
debian/copyright can also be written free-form, or following other formats (if
any) that preserve a good human-readability.  Currently, the canonical URL
for the standard is 
<http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/>.

As for CC0, as Ben explained, it is a license, and the simplest is to list the
copyright holders as for other licenses.

Have a nice day,
