We'll take this up at the next TC39 meeting, I don't think you need a 
petition.

But since you have no plan to use the spec outside of the current 
license, may I ask what is driving you to post multiple times about it 
to es-discuss, talk about a petition, etc.? It seems overwrought.

Anyway, we your faithful TC39ers will take this up with Ecma people. It 
has been an issue recently with W3C too, where tantek at mozilla.com has 
been championing CC0.
