I tried to use the entire code generated by
http://creativecommons.org/choose/zero

But it kept throwing an HTML error code:
The HTML you have entered is not valid HTML: No declaration for attribute
content of element span

This is the code:
<p xmlns:dct="http://purl.org/dc/terms/" xmlns:vcard="
http://www.w3.org/2001/vcard-rdf/3.0#">
  <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"
alt="CC0" />
  </a>
  <br />
  To the extent possible under law, <a href="
http://onschallenge.wikispaces.com" rel="dct:publisher"><span
property="dct:title">Jean-Claude Bradley</span></a>
  has waived all copyright and related or neighboring rights to
  <span property="dct:title">ONS Challenge</span>.
This work is published from
<span about="http://onschallenge.wikispaces.com" property="vcard:Country"
datatype="dct:ISO3166" content="US">United States</span>.
