CC-By could work, but it's less convenient. And also, it's supposed to be

actually would be copyrightable: proposing them a CC-BY would suggest that
we actually consider them as copytightable (and I'm personnaly against
spreading this idea). CC-0 is more like "we don't think it's copyrightable,

IANAL, but I believe that even reference pictures of objects are
generally considered copyrightable in the US (which is where the two
