Ah right good point, I forgot Creative Commons, which I don’t usually use for code.

They do actually recommend against using Creative Commons for code and suggest using traditional code licenses instead [1].

They recommend against it for the traditional CC licenses (CC-BY-SA, etc.), but CC0 is perfectly fine for code, since it's basically a dedication to the public domain for jurisdictions that don't support that. The FAQ for CC0 says this explicitly: https://wiki.creativecommons.org/wiki/CC0_FAQ#May_I_apply_CC...

This wasn't in my employers list of acceptable licenses, so I got to go through the efforts of getting it vetted!
