CC and the Free Software Foundation suggest that if you choose to
apply CC0 to software, you include the following notice at the top of
each file:

        <PROGRAM NAME> - <DESCRIPTION>

        Written in <YEAR> by <AUTHOR NAME> <AUTHOR E-MAIL ADDRESS>

        [other author/contributor lines as appropriate]

        To the extent possible under law, the author(s) have dedicated
        all copyright and related and neighboring rights to this software to
        the public domain worldwide. This software is distributed without any
        warranty.

        You should have received a copy of the CC0 Public Domain
        Dedication along with this software. If not, see
        <http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/>.

It is also recommended that you include a file called COPYING (or
COPYING.txt) containing the CC0 legalcode as plain text.

Copyright notices start with "Copyright" and contain years and names
of copyright holders [0]; that notice has no such lines, and that
passage doesn't mention any other notice.
