[theme-reviewers] License: None (Public Domain)

[carolina poena]

yes but saying "none" -it doesnt have a license, 
is not the same as saying "public domain"    (Unless you can tell that the item is created before a certain date what ever date applies in your country.)
 
Most of the time when I contact creators (on deviantart for example) , "none" just means that the creator doesn't know how to license their creations.

Public Domain is Public Domain. CC0 is simply one way of calling something Public Domain. Simply declaring something as "Public Domain" is fine.

To my understanding, the only Public Domain license compatible with GPL for WordPress.org purposes is the CC By 0 license - but lately I've been coming across some themes with resources whose license is declared as "None (Public Domain) and I've been advising theme authors that the license/copyright must be explicitly declared.


So my question here is where do we stand with the aforementioned license? Acceptable or not?

Thanks in advance,
