I think its fine in its own way. GPLv3 is strict copyleft. In a legal standpoint, this allows to maintain copyright of the author, then again, this is just a CoC - licensing is not a problem.

Be reminded Unlicnese and along with GPL is for software, I recommend Creative Commons instead.

@Serkan-devel The GFDL is significantly less "free" than the Unlicense, and is even debated as to being "free" at all.

@sr229 Yes, the Unlicense was designed for software. From a text perspective, it is still useful, and I know of nothing designed for docs, which is commonly applied, that has similar freedom. As you said, this is just a CoC, and the author has already relinquished copyrights anyway.

@chindraba-work but Unlicense is still designed for code... Wouldn't it be more appropriate to use CC 0 Public Domain?
