For our purposes this can be replaced with the CC0 Public Domain Dedication: https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/

From the CC website, the reason that Public Domain license was retired was "US-specific; co-mingled two very different use cases. Replaced by two separate tools: the CC0 Public Domain Dedication and the Public Domain Mark."

I believe that particular page is managed via Wordpress, so @stevieflow can you make the edit.

Should check we don't mention the license anywhere else.
