    cc0 allows people to use it in weird edge cases, whilst the unlicense might be vague on or not allow that use

      What might those edge cases be? Unlicense literally says there is no license, do whatever you want.

        idk, some guys on the internet (who are probably not lawyers).
        nitpicking, but no license means that all rights are reserved, meaning in most cases, you can’t use it.

          It’s not that there isn’t a license, there is, but the license says there is no license, it’s public domain, do whatever you like. It’s not a problem if your license says that there is no license, but yes, it is a problem if you don’t have any license attached to your code. In those cases, yes, most distros don’t touch that code… or maybe point at the project, but do whatever you deem is right with it, we’re officially not touching it.
