I think they're one and the same. All intellectual property the rights to
which have been waived = CC0 = public domain. There are a few European
exceptions to copyright expiration, such as
https://creativecommons.org/2016/04/26/long-arm-copyright-millions-blocked-reading-original-versions-diary-anne-frank/
 that I don't think concern CC0.

Isn&#39;t the CC0 license the attempt to solve the issues of the term &quot;public \

people <br> expect from public domain?<br>
<br>
What are the issues of public domain that CC0 doesn&#39;t solve?<br>
