Releasing our work into the public domain seems like the correct path. WTFPL currently grants users an unlimited license to use our work, which is maybe fine, but CC0 actually revokes all copyright wherever possible, and falls back to an unlimited license where that's legally not a possibility. CC0 also includes a warranty disclaimer (so this merge Closes #919).

Under the terms of WTFPL we're able to relicense this site however we see fit so there should be no issues converting to CC0.
