curious how the Unlicense is viewed by legal? I've been throwing that on all my projects since I learned about it before CC0 and it's now a habit.

AFAICT, the perception of Unlicense is becoming better. It was receiving weird looks some years ago, mostly because of its name ("Unlicense? You can't un-license something") but once past that, the contents are satisfying enough and it's been better accepted.

Remind that it's just a data point though. #notALawyer
