License proliferation *is* a serious problem. However, 0BSD does have two things going for it:

- Not counting the warranty disclaimer, it's one sentence long, and it's not a difficult sentence for a human to read and understand.
- While there are other licenses with similar functions (e.g. the Unlicense, CC0, WTFPL, etc.), most of them are longer, not OSI-approved, or both.

I do have one minor objection, though: It appears that OSI has approved 0BSD twice, because they list it twice on https://opensource.org/licenses/category (under "Other/Miscellaneous licenses"). They should probably fix that.
