I wanted to start a discussion about the possibility of dual licensing privacytools.io

The current CC0 contains much unnecessary legal lingo and can be confusing.
Although, under some circumstances this may be useful.

My recommendation is to dual license under a simpler license such as the Unlicense.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unlicense#Reception sounds like CC0 might be a better choice even if it's more legalese.

@Mikaela This is not a duplicate.
#957 #956 and #955 are about separate licenses.
I propose the idea of using multi-licensing, which doesn't seem to have been discussed before.

@ghbjklhv What benefit do you see coming from multi licensing as CC0 and something that almost everyone else opposes? Especially considering how CC0 is public domain even if your legislation didn't happen to understand public domain and thus allows you to do anything you want with it.
