That's a very U.S.-centric perspective.  Many countries do not allow
authors to disclaim copyright (at best such a declaration would
interpreted as something like CC0).  And many countries also offer some
kind of protection to organized collections of facts.

And I don't want to create a third type of contributions.

Thanks,
Florian
