Even that would have some differences in different jurisdictions, though, as some jurisdictions outright contradict each other (in some jurisdictions you can't enforce moral rights, in other jurisdictions you can't waive them). I suppose CC0 would be acceptable, if everyone had to agree to it, including the OSMF itself. But I'd prefer copyleft. I really don't want people taking my contributions, adding to them, and then legally restricting me from being able to use them.
