Is CC0 not closer to being public domain? My understanding is that placing a work into public domain is actually non-trivial, so if that's really what you want to do you should use a license explicitly geared toward that:

https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/

I'm guessing that's not what you wanted, because when something is truly public domain then you lose any ability to control it whatsoever, but it is what you asked for.

Unfortunately CC0 is (still) not listed as an "approved OSI license"[0], so it is off the table for many folks
