We added this CC0 logo and license
<a rel="license" href="http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/"
style="text-decoration:none;">
    <img src="http://i.creativecommons.org/l/zero/1.0/88x31.png" border="0"

  </a>

to the nav bar on the ONSC wiki
http://onschallenge.wikispaces.com/

and to the results of any solubility search:
http://old.oru.edu/cccda/sl/solubility/allsolvents.php?solute=benzoic%2520acid

Does this meet the requirements for machine readability of CC0 intent?
