GitHub supports the Unlicense as a valid license type. It's listed here: https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/managing-your-repositorys-settings-and-features/customizing-your-repository/licensing-a-repository
It's also listed here: https://choosealicense.com/appendix/
It's also in the dropdown when you create a new GitHub repo:
According to Wikipedia the Unlicense is approved by OSI.
So it works for me at this time.
P.S. I've never heard of BSD-0, MIT-0 and don't see them listed in any of the places I mentioned above.
Sorry, I meant MIT.
Just because a license is known by GitHub doesn't make it a good license.
Please consider moving away from the Unlicense license to something more conventional and respected.
A good summary of the issues: https://chrismorgan.info/blog/unlicense/. Primary issues are that distributions are starting to refuse to package "public domain" code (including CC0/Unlicense) and the unlicense web site doesn't work anymore.
A good alternative would be the BSD-0 or MIT-0 licenses.
