Creative Commons Zeroes in on public domain
New “licence” waives all rights to created content.
Creative Commons has introduced a new licence that allows content creators to waive all their rights over their material.
CC0—pronounced “CC Zero”—is a universal waiver that may be used by anyone wishing to permanently surrender the copyright and database rights they may have in a work, thereby placing it as nearly as possible into the public domain.
“Our copyright licenses empower creators to manage their copyright on terms they choose,” said Diane Peters, Creative Commons’ general counsel.
