My understanding is that CC0 is not completely equivalent to code already public domain. CC0 is the closest you can have to get your work in the public domain, but since in some juridictions, you cannot be sure that your copyright is completely waived, you still in this case stay the copyright holder. By a short look at the search result for "License: CC0" on codesearch.debian.net, it seems that most of the results indicate copyright holders. If noone else has an opinion on that, I would recommend to ask advice on debian-legal@lists.debian.org. Cheers, Cédric
