Thanks for catching this, and for the links. Changes made in the commit above. I can't really describe it as "software", but hopefully my adjusted language better reflects the spirit of CC0.

With version 4 out, hopefully CC will revisit the discussion of OSI compliance for CC0.

Much better, but you're still calling it a license :-)

heh, I should have read what I wrote more carefully.

Interestingly, it appears that CC still uses the term license in it's semantic definition though, the rel property also calls it a license:

<p xmlns:dct="http://purl.org/dc/terms/" xmlns:vcard="http://www.w3.org/2001/vcard-rdf/3.0#">
  <a rel="license"
     href="http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/">
    <img src="http://i.creativecommons.org/p/zero/1.0/88x31.png" style="border-style: none;" alt="CC0" />
  </a>

  To the extent possible under law,
  <a rel="dct:publisher"
