Getting off-topic-ish but to clarify:
CC-0 is the "equivalent" of public domain ("zero rights reserved").
My understanding is that this was introduced because many countries don't have
the concept of public domain as it exists e.g. in the American legislation.
CC-0 enables the creators of creative works in such countries to give up _all_
the copyrights, including the need for attribution, in a standardized, simple,
contractual/licensing way.
Cheers,

Good to know, sorry for the confusion.. :-) I just assumed that CC
would require attribution for all licenses. Moral rights being what
they are.
