Changing the Licenses on All My Uploaded Content to Public Domain (CC0)

Hi there,
As of yesterday, I've switched all the licenses on all the content uploaded under the account "artisticdude" to CC0 (Public Domain). Basically that means you can do pretty much anything you want with it now with no special rules (i.e., you can use it as you wish in any project without being required to give credit, whether that project be open-source, free as in beer, commercial, or some combination thereof).
Just a heads up. =)

Wohoo, thank you :D
Cool, any particular reason?

Eh, not specifically, but I've been reading up on open-source licenses a bit recently, and I've come to the conclusion that I prefer CC0 because of the complete lack of restrictions. Other licenses such as the GPL and CC-BY are all well and good when used for specific purposes IMO, but for general-purpose art such as the stuff I've uploaded here, I think that art would benefit the most people by being licensed under the most permissable license.
I'm not really by any means an expert in licensing (truth be told, most of the time I'm barely competent at it, if that), but I know it annoys me when I come across a great piece of open-source licensed art that I can't use because my project doesn't conform to that asset's license. :)
Thanks dude.
