I had never worried about that, and I guess nobody usually does. Do
people actually respect that clause in slides?

Just put a tiny "BSD licensed" somewhere in the slide

CC0 is usually not advised for code, though I agree that in the case of
examples we are in a borderline case.

Practically, to relicense we would need to have the agreement of all the
authors of each example. As we don't own the copyright, we cannot
relicense.

Team: do you think that it is worth trying to relicense our examples, or
should we not bother?
