The CC0 license can “weaken patent infringement defenses available to users of software released under CC0” https://opensource.org/faq#cc-zero

The affirmers may not have “all the necessary rights to grant permission to use the CC0’d work” https://wiki.creativecommons.org/wiki/CC0_FAQ#How_can_I_be_sure_that_I_have_all_the_rights_I_need_to_use_the_work.3F

I wonder if MIT or another top-5 OSI approved license could help in easing the legal worries in adopters.

The license in GitHub now says MIT. Can the license in NPM be updated to match?
