Personally I’m against using The “unlicensed”. Contrary to the common belief, giving up copyright is not allowed in some countries. Thus CC0 license have following terms:

many legal systems effectively prohibit any attempt by these owners to surrender rights automatically conferred by law, particularly moral rights, even when the author wishing to do so is well informed and resolute about doing so and contributing their work to the public domain.

CC0 helps solve this problem by giving creators a way to waive all their copyright and related rights in their works to the fullest extent allowed by law

CC0 is also discouraged by few parties since it lacks of patent rights waiver.1

I’d like to recommend Apache-2.0 OR MIT license if you’re looking for permissive license.
