Why

The Unlicense is a public-domain dedication, which has questionable legal effect in France (and most of continental Europe): moral rights are inalienable (art. L121-1 CPI), so one cannot waive copyright outright. Only the fallback clause of The Unlicense would apply, and its drafting is often criticized.

MIT-0 (MIT No Attribution) grants the same practical freedom — do anything, no attribution required — but as a proper license grant, which works cleanly under droit d'auteur.

Checks

  • MIT-0 is OSI-approved in the SPDX list pinned by the HACS license validator (v3.28.0)
  • Detected by GitHub's licensee

Note: after merge + mirror sync, GitHub may take a few minutes to re-detect the license, and the shields.io badge caches for up to 4h.
