unlicense
I don't see why Charles' question should be taken as anything other than an honest request for information. As for me, I've never heard of this license, but if CRAN doesn't have an option to license software in the public domain, then I would support the inclusion of some such option. FWIW, searching for "public domain software license" on Google turns up unlicense.org as the second result. Frederick

I would like the unlicense (http://unlicense.org/) added to R licenses. Does anyone else think that worthwhile?
That's a question for you to answer, not to ask. Who besides you thinks that it's a good license for open source software? If it is recognized by the OSF or FSF or some other authority as a FOSS license, then CRAN would probably also recognize it. If not, then CRAN doesn't have the resources to evaluate it and so is unlikely to recognize it. Duncan Murdoch
