Unlicense or CC0? #5

Open RalfJung opened 2 years ago

RalfJung commented 2 years ago

The README states

This code is placed into the public domain under the terms described by the Unlicense.

but the license key in the toml file says CC0. Did https://github.com/emk/abort_on_panic-rs/commit/6a2e3023395263d2de363c921740d1788470cbb4 just forget to update the README?

Also see https://lwn.net/Articles/902410/, CC0 seems to fall out of favor (just forwarding what I saw, not stating any opinion here)

Also see this Zulip discussion; using Unlicense would make it a no-brainer to use abort_on_panic as a rustc dependency but with CC0 the situation is unfortunately complicated.
