Neither "public domain" nor CC0 are licenses. We use the CC0 waiver to waive our author rights to the maximum extent possible, and thus place the work into the public domain as far as this is possible. For example, by European law it is not possible to waive all author rights -- the only way for any work to truly enter the public domain is for the author(s) to die and then a certain period of time to pass.
