I'm leaning towards CC0. The GNU All-Permissive License still mentions

GPLv3 neutralizes laws like the DMCA ("3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights
From Anti-Circumvention Law."). The GPLv2 did not do this.
Preventing DRM could be problematic to some distributors (e.g. Debian).
This is part of the reason I chose GPLv3 over the GFDL.

I'm not a lawyer, either. I'm strongly in favor of readers being able
to modify/update/translate all future versions. DRM is a threat to
that. I think the GPLv3 is the best understood and most accepted
license for doing what I want.
