在適用公眾領域標章於某作品或使用某標示公眾領域標章的作品前，
您應該了解本｢公眾領域標章的常見問題｣中所包含的資訊。以下資訊並非
全面，它可能並未涵蓋會影響您的的重要問題。
__TOC__
這些常見問題的目的在補充，而非取代我們現有的常見問
題 (http://wiki.creativecommons.org/FAQ) 與CC0常見問題 (http://
wiki.creativecommons.org/CC0_FAQ)。我們鼓勵您，在使用公眾領域標章
或是我們提供的其他法律工具或授權條款前，先閱讀這些常見問題，您也
應該仔細閱讀PDM deed，及該文件所連結的資訊，該文件與補充資訊包含
標示公眾領域標章作品的重要訊息，因此您在使用公眾領域標章或使用某
標示公眾領域標章的作品前，應該要充分了解該等資訊。

請注意：創用CC組織並不提供法律建議，以下資訊無法取代法律
建議，內容也不詳盡，關於以下列、公眾領域標章、創用CC（Creative
Commons）之授權條款與工具等事項，若您有任何問題或疑慮，請諮詢您
的法律顧問。

=== 關於公眾領域標章的一般性問題 ===

==== 什麼是公眾領域標章？ ====

公眾領域標章是一種工具，讓任何人都可以將其標示或標籤於在全球
均已不受著作權限制的作品上，向大眾傳遞此作品之權利狀態，並使大眾
能容易地發現該作品。公眾領域標章並不是一個如同CC0或CC授權條款
般的法律文書，它並沒有伴隨的法律契約文件。它是用來標記在全球均不
受著作權限制的作品，其典型為年代久遠的作品。它不應該被用來改變某
作品基於著作權法規範的權利狀態，或影響任何人關於此作品的相關權
利。就如同CC0與我們的授權條款，公眾領域標章含有可被機器讀取的
metadata資訊，讓作品被適當地標示，且可於網路環境中被尋找發現。

==== 公眾領域標章如何運作？ ====

任何人皆可對不受著作權限制之作品上標示公眾領域標章。關於
作品的資訊、作者、以及標示公眾領域標章的人，都會透過我們PDM
Chooser以HTML的格式嵌入該作品。提供這些資訊後，可以幫助利用人評
估作品的著作權狀態，並獲取此作品的進一步資訊。再次提醒，請記得公
眾領域標章不會影響該作品的法律狀態或是作者的法律權利。公眾領域標
章只具有標示或標籤的功能。

====公眾領域標章與CC0之差異何在？====

公眾領域標章與CC0在重要的面向上有顯著的差異，且具有明顯不同的目的。
CC0僅供作者、著作權人及其相關權利或是鄰接權（包含特別的資料庫保護
權）人使用，且適用的作品仍受至少一個法域的著作權限制；而公眾領域標章
則可供任何人使用，其適用對象是在全球均已不受已知著作權限制的作品。

這兩種工具的適用也會產生不同的效果，CC0在法律面來說，會改變
該作品的著作權狀態，有效地以全球為範圍，拋棄所有的著作權及其相關

或鄰接權；公眾領域標章則僅具有標籤的功能，標示該作品在全球均不受
已知著作權的限制。

====我可以將公眾領域標章使用於資料上嗎，例如metadata？或是資料庫呢？====

可以的，公眾領域標章可以使用在任何已不受已知著作權限制的作品
上。例如，您可以將公眾領域標章標示在metadata，也就是關於資料的資
料，前提為此matadat並不具有可著作權性或已不受著作權保護。又例如，
不論某張照片是否受著作權所保護，描述此照片的metadata仍可能不被著
作權所保護，在此情況下，公眾領域標章即可使用在metadata上。

公眾領域標章亦可使用在不被著作權所保護的資料庫上，包括含有
metadata的資料庫。不同法域對於資料庫有不同的著作權規範方式，有時
候差異相當大。此外，某些法域會給予資料庫特殊的法律保護，此時雖然
資料庫收錄的資訊處於公眾領域，但從資料庫中擷取及／或再利用資料庫
中資訊的行為會受到相當限制。若您不確定該資料庫在各國是否被著作權
所保護，那麼您不應該將此資料庫標記公眾領域標章，但您可以使用公眾
領域標章以標示資料庫中未被保護的內容。

若您是資料庫的創作者或建立者，且希望能確保任何人皆可自由的擷
取及再利用此內容（當然資料庫中的內容仍可能受其他權利保護，例如資
料庫中的照片仍受著作權保護），那麼您可以考慮使用CC0來拋棄您所有
的著作權以及資料庫的特殊法律保護。在所有情況下，清楚的標記公眾領
域標章及CC0是很重要的。

==== 何謂CC的公眾領域貢獻與認證？這項工具仍可被使用嗎？ ====

隨著公眾領域標章的發起，創用CC即降低了本身的公共領域貢獻及認
證(PDDC)的重要性。創用CC不再建議於任何情況下使用PDDC。PDDC正
具有雙重目的：允許著作權人貢獻其著作權於公眾領域，以及在公共領域
中標記和認證該作品處於公眾領域，我們發現一種工具若具有雙重功能，
則除了會產生其他問題外，還容易造成混淆。在2008年初期，我們發表了
CC0來承接PDDC的貢獻功能，當時我們也宣布將會改善人們標示或標籤
一個作品公眾領域狀態的方式，而公眾領域標章即是改善後的一種工具，
公眾領域標章現在承接了以往PDDC所具有的標示及標籤功能，因而取代了
PDDC而成為我們推薦的工具。
對於曾經使用過PDDC的人，我們也保證創用CC會繼續提供支援
PDDC deed。
若您需要認證你的公眾領域貢獻，你可以造訪服務提供者，例如
RegisteredCommons。

=== 想採用公眾領域標章於作品的人可能遇到的問題 ===

==== 誰可以使用公眾領域標章於著作上？ ====

任何一個相信特定某作品已不受著作權限制的人皆可使用公眾領域標
章。但需要留意的是，公眾領域標章僅能適用於在全球均已不受著作權限
制的著作，您不應萬將其適用於僅於數個法域中落入公共領域的作品，也

因此我們預期，在多數情況中，公眾領域標章目前只能適用到年代相當久
遠的作品。
簡言之，人人都可使用公眾領域標章。

==== 若我將公眾領域標章使用於某作品，這是否表示我保證或承諾該作品於全球均已不受著作權限制？ ====

不是，除非法律另有規定或是您自己另外提出該保證。如同所有的創
用CC法律工具，PDM deed在法律許可執行範圍內，包含了擔保與責任的
免除條款。此外，PDM deed中亦提醒使用者注意該作品可能並非在所有法
域中，均不受著作權之限制，該等聲明旨在提醒潛在使用者，很難對於全
球所有的法律規定以及所有法域可能影響著作權狀態的事實情況負責。舉
例而言，若能和專業人員一起遊玩並向其學習，則千萬不要猶豫。

儘管有這些免除責任條款與聲明，如果您確定您欲適用公眾領域標章
的作品於一個或是多個法域中仍受著作權保護，則請您不要對其使用公眾
領域標章。我們目前正在努力對於這種在部份國家已落入公共領域，而於
其他國家中仍受著作權法限制之作品，設計標示工具，也希望能儘速公布
。
==== 如何在作品上使用公眾領域標章？ ====

我們的PDM Chooser將會帶領您走過整個流程，當完成時，會給您一
個HTML碼，讓您可以複製並貼到您的網站上。請注意，您自己（選取該
作品的人）可以選擇是否要在您的網站上或是其他地方發表此種標有公眾
領域標章的作品，創用CC組織並不會發表任何作品，也不會承擔如此的責
任。

==== 提供PDM Chooser所要求的資訊有何好處？ ====

任何您使用PDM Chooser時所提供的資訊，將被納入在連結該品作之
PDM deed以及機器可讀碼中。潛在的作品利用人可進而使用該資訊，並用
以尋找更多關於該作品的訊息與狀態，雖然提供資訊的領域是選擇性的，
為了利用人的利益，我們仍鼓勵您盡可能地提供所有資訊。

==== 公眾領域標章是否會要求那些使用我所標記作品的人，標示我或作者的姓名？ ====

不會，作品的利用人無須標示公眾領域標章標示者或作者的姓名，但
這不表示若你將作品數位化及／或以符合社群或專業規則與標準時，不能
要求他人標示您的姓名。
公眾領域標章讓利用人能輕易引用作品本身，若關於作者與作品的資
訊，在PDM Chooser階段被提供，那麼就會有一個HTML的引用方塊出
現於deed上。該作品的利用人可以輕易複製該欄位裡的HTML碼並貼在利
用該作品的網站上，以提供引用所需相關資訊。我們鼓勵每個選取作品的
人，都使用PDM Choose提供這些資訊；此外，不論作品何時可供取用，
我們都十分希望標示公眾領域標章作品的利用人能善用這些已準備好的引
用相關資訊。

=== 考慮利用標示公眾領域標章的作品之相關問題 ===

==== 每個人都可以使用標有公眾領域標章的作品嗎？ ====

是的。公眾領域標章並無使用者的限制。一般來說，任何不受著作權
限制的作品可在不需任何人允許之情況下，被用於任何用途（包含商業用
途）。然而要注意的是，PDM deed在其他資訊(other information)欄位中列
出了一些潛在利用人應該了解的重要事項。其他可能發生的情況例如：標
示有公眾領域標章的作品可能並非在全世界各法域都不受著作權限制，或
是除了著作權限制之外，尚有其他法律限制此作品的用途。請參閱以下可
能發生的情況。
如果您對於是否能及如何運用標記公眾領域標章之作品有疑慮，請諮
詢您的法律顧問。

==== 我真的可以將標有公眾領域標章之作品用以任何我想要的方法利用？且在全世界任何地方嗎？ ====

與那些被標示為「不受著作權限制」、「位於公眾領域」或其他類似
聲明的作品相同（包括在Flickr Commons、博物館、圖書館網站或其他地
方之作品），這個問題的答案很簡單：「視情況而定」，在這方面，公眾
領域標章和其他公眾領域的標示系統並無不同。雖然如此，公眾領域標章
比其他公眾領域標示系統比多了一個非常重要的優點，那就是deed有警示
潛在利用人關於在利用作品時，可能會產生對其利用能力的重要、潛在限
制。
這些潛在限制與注意事項被標示在PDM deed中「其他資訊」欄位下。
我們強烈建議利用人於利用標示公眾領域標章之作品前（或其他任何被界
定為屬於公眾領域一部分之作品），先閱讀及理解這些使用限制與注意事
項。

==== 為何在某一法域中不受著作權限制並不代表在任何法域都不受著作權限制？ ====

世界各地的著作權規範不盡相同，並不存在一個完全統一或標準的著
作權法給各法域來界定某個作品是否已不再受到著作權的限制，此外，依
據某個法域的著作權法，導致某個作品落入公眾領域的情況，並不表示依
據其他法域的法律也會導致一樣的結果。因此，同樣的著作，在某些法域
會受到著作權法的限制，但在其他法域卻不會。
一個作品可能會因許多不同因素，而具有不同的受限制或「混合型」
的公眾領域狀態。有些法域設有非常長的著作權保護期間，所以可能某作
品雖然幾乎在世界任何地方都已不受著作權的限制，但卻仍在該特定法域
受到著作權法的保護。有時一個作品不再受到著作權法限制的原因是因為
作者或權利人並未遵守著作權法的相關形式要件，例如延展登記或著作權
標示。再者，某些種類的作品也會因特定法域中著作權法的運作，而不再
受著作權保護，但在其他法域卻仍受著作權法保護，美國政府著作即為一
例。
創用CC組織並不建議將現有的公眾領域標章使用於有上述情形之著作
（即在部份法域是屬於公眾領域，但在其他法域是受到著作權限制）。即
使遵從我們的建議，您還是應該知道，這種可能性還是存在。我們選擇事

先告知潛在利用人這種可能性，即使這些情況可能在很久之後才會發生。

==== 對於在作品上標示公眾領域標章的人來說，有甚麼方法能確定那些作品不受任何已知著作權法之保護？====

這要看情況。創用CC並沒有為這些標示公眾領域標章的人建立相關標
準、期待或建議實踐方式，事實上，我們也沒有資格如此作，每個在作品
上標示公眾領域標章的機構或個人，應自行判斷他們被標記的作品是否不
受著作權的限制。我們希望相關實踐方式可以被廣泛公布並透明化，使那
些潛在的公眾領域標章作品的利用人能夠了解原來的審查實踐。我們也鼓
勵潛在的公眾領域標章作品利用人，若想知道得更多，可以詢問原來選取
作品標示的機構或個人。

此外，除非有相反的說明，將作品標示公眾領域標章的人，並不提供
任何擔保，這包括他們在標示前採取了何種程序或實地查核。創用CC組織
並不會為有公眾領域標章的作品進行著作權狀態的檢驗。

==== 還有我應該知道的其他的法律規定，會限制我使用公眾領域標章的作品嗎？ ====

有可能。公眾領域標章只專注在著作權法和相關及鄰接權利，除了提
醒利用人採用公眾領域標章作品可能會遇到的規範或限制外，並不處理其
他法律的適用性（或不適用性）。舉例來說，如果一個作品中包含了某人
的圖片或聲音，在某些法域中可能會有隱私權或形像權的問題。同樣地，
依據作品的性質、內容及所在的法域，該作品可能就會涉及個人資料保護
法的問題。
雖然大眾擁有使用公眾領域資訊的自由，但此自由並不表示其可以違
反其他的法律規範。正如創用CC所授權釋出的著作，您以特定方法利用作
品時，仍須留意此用途是否適用於其他法律規範。

==== 我需要將該作品的作者或標示公眾領域標章者的姓名標示出嗎? ====

不需要。您並無法律義務將作者或標示者的姓名標示出來，除非有被
明確要求且有提供相關方法。基於引用作者/作品之目的，PDM deed提供了
HTML碼可供複製／貼上於網頁中，如果標示者有提供相關資訊，利用人就
能容易的引用作者與作品。我們鼓勵您如果在任何可能情況下，多利用
此複製／貼上的功能。

==== 我要怎麼確定我可以用我想要的方式來使用公眾領域標章作品? ====

就如同我們的授權條款及CC0，公眾領域標章包關於擔保責任的免責聲明，因
此無法保證該作品因標示公眾領域標章而在世界各國皆不受著作權法的限制，
您應該要留意著作權法之外的相關限制，例如隱私權、形像權、個人資料保護
權法等等。
若您有相關疑問，我們強烈建議您先不要使用該作品，除非您已進行所有步驟
以及完成您認為應該做的預防措施，如先聯繫採用公眾領域標章於作品的人以
及諮詢法律顧問。
如須其他進一步資訊，請不吝與我們連絡。

作品的人）可以選擇是否要在您的網站上或是其他地方發表此種標有公眾
領域標章的作品，創用CC組織並不會發表任何作品，也不會承擔如此的責
任。

==== 公共領域標誌的Chooser所要求的資訊能帶來何種利益？ ====

任何您使用公共領域標誌Chooser時所提供的資訊將被納入在連結該著作之公共領域標誌契約書以及機器可讀碼中。潛在的著作使用者可進而使用該資訊以找到更多關於該著作的訊息與狀態，雖然資訊的領域係可選擇的，為了使用者的利益我們仍鼓勵您盡可能地提供所有資訊。

==== 公共領域標誌是否會要求那些使用我所標記之著作的人給予我或作者對價？ ====

不會，不論是標記著作的人或是該著作的作者並不會因而取得對價或是姓名標示。但這也不表示你將著作數位化及／或符合專業規範與標準以標記著作的努力會白費，也就是說您仍可向使用者或是作者請求對價。

公共領域標誌讓使用者便於引用著作，若作者與著作的資訊在公共領域標誌裡呈現，HTML的引用欄亦會出現於契約書上。該著作的使用者可以輕易複製該欄位裡的HTML碼並貼在該著作的使用處以提供這些引用資訊。我們非常鼓勵各個使用公共領域標誌Choose的人能夠提供這些資訊，並且不論何時生效，我們都十分希望使用者能善用這些已準備好的資訊。

=== 使用具有公共領域標誌之著作的相關問題 ===

==== 每個人都可以使用標有公共領域標誌之著作嗎？ ====

是的。公共領域標誌並無使用者的限制。一般來說，任何不受著作權限制的著作可在不需任何人允許之下被用於任何用途（包含商業用途）。然而要注意的是，使用者在運用標有公共領域標誌之著作時，仍要了解公共領域標誌在其他資訊中所定義出的重要注意事項。其他可能發生的情況例如：具有公共領域標誌著作並非在全世界的國家都不受著作權限制，或是除了著作權限制之外，尚有其他法律規定此著作的用途。

請參閱以下可能發生的情況，如果您對於如何運用標記公共領域標誌之著作有疑慮，請諮詢您的法律顧問。

==== 我真的可以將具有公共領域標誌之著作用在任何用途？任何地方？ ====

與那些在公共及相關領域標示為「不受著作權限制」之著作（包含在Flickr公眾授權方案、博物館、圖書館網站及其他地方之著作）相同，您所得到的答案很簡單：「視情況而定」，在這方面，公共領域標誌和其他公共領域的標記系統沒有不同。
但公共領域標誌和其他公共領域標記系統相比之下有一個非常重要的優勢，那就是公共領域標誌契約有警示著作使用者關於在使用著作時可能會發生的使用限制。使用限制與注意事項被標示在其他資訊底下的公共領域標誌契約。我們強烈建議使用者於使用公共領域標誌著作前（或其他涵蓋有公共領域相關之著作前），先詳讀及理解這些使用限制與注意事項。

==== 為何在某一國家中不受著作權限制並不代表在任何地方都無著作權限制？ ====

著作權法在世界各地因規定不同而異，並無統一或標準的著作權法給各國家來定義著作是否已不再受到著作權的限制，例如，著作在某國的法律規定被釋出至公共領域並不表示同樣適用於其他國家的法律。因此，同樣的著作，在某些國家會受到著作權法的限制，但在其他國家不會。一個著作可能會因許多不同因素，而具有不同的受限制或「混合型」公共領域狀態。有些國家會有冗長的著作權條款，言下之意為著作雖然幾乎在世界任何地方都免於著作權法的限制，但仍可能在特定的國家受到著作權法的保護。有時著作會不再受到著作權法限制的原因是因為該作者或權利人並未遵守相關程序規定，例如延展登記著作權期限或是公布其著作受到著作權保護。再者，某些種類的著作也會因國家的不同而有著作權法限制與否的差異，美國政府著作就有發生這樣的情形。

創用CC（Creative Commons）並不建議將現有的公共領域標誌使用於有上述情形之著作（即在部份國家是屬於公共領域但在其他國是受到著作權限制）。我們選擇事先告知可能的情形，讓使用者知道可能會發生以上的情況，即使這些情況可能在很久之後才會發生。

==== 可以用哪些方法來確定那些即將被標記公共領域標誌的著作並未被現有著作權法限制？====

這要看情況。創用CC（Creative Commons）並沒有替想採用公共領域標誌的使用者設立相關標準、期望和建議步驟，事實上，我們也沒有權利作這樣的事情，各單位或是個人應自行判斷他們要標記公共領域標誌的著作是否免於著作權的限制。

我們希望相關判定方法可以被廣泛公布與說明，使那些即將要採用公共領域標誌著作的使用者能夠了解其所採取的審查步驟。我們也鼓勵那些將要採用公共領域標誌著作的使用者，若對所採取的方法有疑問或想問進一步的問題，可以諮詢相關鑑定機構及專家。

此外，除非另有說明，當使用者將公共領域標誌使用於著作時，並不表示該使用者在使用前已經進行了調查或相關步驟，而創用CC（Creative Commons）並不會為有公共領域標誌的著作進行著作權狀態的校驗。

==== 還有其他的法律規定會限制我使用公共領域標誌的著作嗎？ ====

是的，有可能還有其他法律規定會限制您使用公共領域標誌著作。公共領域標誌只專注在著作權及相關法律，除了提醒使用者採用公共領域標誌著作可能會遇到的規範或限制外，並不涉及公共領域標制對其他法律是否具有適用性（或不適用性）。舉例來說，如果此著作中包含了人的圖片、聲音、隱私或公開權，此著作可能會在部份國家受到牽連。同樣地，根據著作的性質、內容及所在的國家，該著作可能就會因此受到個人資料保護法的保護及規範。
雖然大眾擁有自由使用公共領域標誌著作的自由，但此自由並不表示其可以違反其他的法律規範。正如創用CC（Creative Commons）所授權的著作，使用者在使用該著作於特定用途時，仍須留意此用途是否適用於其他法令規範。

==== 我需要將該著作之作者或將公共領域標誌適用在著作上的使用者標示出來嗎? ====

不需要。並未有法律規定您必須將著作之作者或將公共領域標誌適用在著作上的使用者標示出來，只有當有此要求時您才需要主動行使。若宣告者有提供相關資訊，公共領域標誌契約提供了HTML碼可供複製／貼上於網頁中，讓想要做這個標記動作的人，可輕易的標示出作者與著作。我們建議您如果遇到此情形，可以運用此複製／貼上的功能。

==== 我要怎麼確定我可以用我想要的方式來適用公共領域標誌之著作? ====

公共領域標誌包含擔保責任的免責聲明，就如同我們的授權及CC0，因此無法保證此著作因標有公共領域標誌而在世界各國皆不受著作權法的限制，您應該要留意著作權法之外的相關限制與範圍，例如隱私權、公開權、個人資料保護權法等等。若您有相關疑問，我們強烈建議您先不要使用該著作，除非您已進行所有步驟以及完成您認為應該做的防範措施，如先連絡採用公共領域標誌於著作的人以及諮詢法律顧問。

在適用公眾領域標章於某作品或使用某標示公眾領域標章的作品前，
您應該了解本｢公眾領域標章的常見問題｣中所包含的資訊。以下資訊並非
全面，它可能並未涵蓋會影響您的的重要問題。
__TOC__
這些常見問題的目的在補充，而非取代我們現有的常見問
題 (http://wiki.creativecommons.org/FAQ) 與CC0常見問題 (http://
wiki.creativecommons.org/CC0_FAQ)。我們鼓勵您，在使用公眾領域標章
或是我們提供的其他法律工具或授權條款前，先閱讀這些常見問題，您也
應該仔細閱讀PDM deed，及該文件所連結的資訊，該文件與補充資訊包含
標示公眾領域標章作品的重要訊息，因此您在使用公眾領域標章或使用某
標示公眾領域標章的作品前，應該要充分了解該等資訊。

請注意：創用CC組織並不提供法律建議，以下資訊無法取代法律
建議，內容也不詳盡，關於以下列、公眾領域標章、創用CC（Creative
Commons）之授權條款與工具等事項，若您有任何問題或疑慮，請諮詢您
的法律顧問。

=== 關於公眾領域標章的一般性問題 ===

==== 什麼是公眾領域標章？ ====

公眾領域標章是一種工具，讓任何人都可以將其標示或標籤於在全球
均已不受著作權限制的作品上，向大眾傳遞此作品之權利狀態，並使大眾
能容易地發現該作品。公眾領域標章並不是一個如同CC0或CC授權條款
般的法律文書，它並沒有伴隨的法律契約文件。它是用來標記在全球均不
受著作權限制的作品，其典型為年代久遠的作品。它不應該被用來改變某
作品基於著作權法規範的權利狀態，或影響任何人關於此作品的相關權
利。就如同CC0與我們的授權條款，公眾領域標章含有可被機器讀取的
metadata資訊，讓作品被適當地標示，且可於網路環境中被尋找發現。

==== 公眾領域標章如何運作？ ====

任何人皆可對不受著作權限制之作品上標示公眾領域標章。關於
作品的資訊、作者、以及標示公眾領域標章的人，都會透過我們PDM
Chooser以HTML的格式嵌入該作品。提供這些資訊後，可以幫助利用人評
估作品的著作權狀態，並獲取此作品的進一步資訊。再次提醒，請記得公
眾領域標章不會影響該作品的法律狀態或是作者的法律權利。公眾領域標
章只具有標示或標籤的功能。

====公眾領域標章與CC0之差異何在？====

公眾領域標章與CC0在重要的面向上有顯著的差異，且具有明顯不同的目的。
CC0僅供作者、著作權人及其相關權利或是鄰接權（包含特別的資料庫保護
權）人使用，且適用的作品仍受至少一個法域的著作權限制；而公眾領域標章
則可供任何人使用，其適用對象是在全球均已不受已知著作權限制的作品。

這兩種工具的適用也會產生不同的效果，CC0在法律面來說，會改變
該作品的著作權狀態，有效地以全球為範圍，拋棄所有的著作權及其相關

或鄰接權；公眾領域標章則僅具有標籤的功能，標示該作品在全球均不受
已知著作權的限制。

====我可以將公眾領域標章使用於資料上嗎，例如metadata？或是資料庫呢？====

可以的，公眾領域標章可以使用在任何已不受已知著作權限制的作品
上。例如，您可以將公眾領域標章標示在metadata，也就是關於資料的資
料，前提為此matadat並不具有可著作權性或已不受著作權保護。又例如，
不論某張照片是否受著作權所保護，描述此照片的metadata仍可能不被著
作權所保護，在此情況下，公眾領域標章即可使用在metadata上。

公眾領域標章亦可使用在不被著作權所保護的資料庫上，包括含有
metadata的資料庫。不同法域對於資料庫有不同的著作權規範方式，有時
候差異相當大。此外，某些法域會給予資料庫特殊的法律保護，此時雖然
資料庫收錄的資訊處於公眾領域，但從資料庫中擷取及／或再利用資料庫
中資訊的行為會受到相當限制。若您不確定該資料庫在各國是否被著作權
所保護，那麼您不應該將此資料庫標記公眾領域標章，但您可以使用公眾
領域標章以標示資料庫中未被保護的內容。

若您是資料庫的創作者或建立者，且希望能確保任何人皆可自由的擷
取及再利用此內容（當然資料庫中的內容仍可能受其他權利保護，例如資
料庫中的照片仍受著作權保護），那麼您可以考慮使用CC0來拋棄您所有
的著作權以及資料庫的特殊法律保護。在所有情況下，清楚的標記公眾領
域標章及CC0是很重要的。

==== 何謂CC的公眾領域貢獻與認證？這項工具仍可被使用嗎？ ====

隨著公眾領域標章的發起，創用CC即降低了本身的公共領域貢獻及認
證(PDDC)的重要性。創用CC不再建議於任何情況下使用PDDC。PDDC正
具有雙重目的：允許著作權人貢獻其著作權於公眾領域，以及在公共領域
中標記和認證該作品處於公眾領域，我們發現一種工具若具有雙重功能，
則除了會產生其他問題外，還容易造成混淆。在2008年初期，我們發表了
CC0來承接PDDC的貢獻功能，當時我們也宣布將會改善人們標示或標籤
一個作品公眾領域狀態的方式，而公眾領域標章即是改善後的一種工具，
公眾領域標章現在承接了以往PDDC所具有的標示及標籤功能，因而取代了
PDDC而成為我們推薦的工具。
對於曾經使用過PDDC的人，我們也保證創用CC會繼續提供支援
PDDC deed。
若您需要認證你的公眾領域貢獻，你可以造訪服務提供者，例如
RegisteredCommons。

=== 想採用公眾領域標章於作品的人可能遇到的問題 ===

==== 誰可以使用公眾領域標章於著作上？ ====

任何一個相信特定某作品已不受著作權限制的人皆可使用公眾領域標
章。但需要留意的是，公眾領域標章僅能適用於在全球均已不受著作權限
制的著作，您不應萬將其適用於僅於數個法域中落入公共領域的作品，也

因此我們預期，在多數情況中，公眾領域標章目前只能適用到年代相當久
遠的作品。
簡言之，人人都可使用公眾領域標章。

==== 若我將公眾領域標章使用於某作品，這是否表示我保證或承諾該作品於全球均已不受著作權限制？ ====

不是，除非法律另有規定或是您自己另外提出該保證。如同所有的創
用CC法律工具，PDM deed在法律許可執行範圍內，包含了擔保與責任的
免除條款。此外，PDM deed中亦提醒使用者注意該作品可能並非在所有法
域中，均不受著作權之限制，該等聲明旨在提醒潛在使用者，很難對於全
球所有的法律規定以及所有法域可能影響著作權狀態的事實情況負責。舉
例而言，若能和專業人員一起遊玩並向其學習，則千萬不要猶豫。

儘管有這些免除責任條款與聲明，如果您確定您欲適用公眾領域標章
的作品於一個或是多個法域中仍受著作權保護，則請您不要對其使用公眾
領域標章。我們目前正在努力對於這種在部份國家已落入公共領域，而於
其他國家中仍受著作權法限制之作品，設計標示工具，也希望能儘速公布
。
==== 如何適用公共領域標誌到著作上？ ====

我們的公共領域標誌Chooser將會帶領您走過整個流程，當完成時會給您一個HTML碼，讓您可以複製並貼到您的網站上。請注意，您自己（挑選該著作的人）可以選擇是否要在您的網站上或是其他地方公布此種標有公共領域標誌的著作，創用CC並不會公布任何著作也不會承擔這個責任。

==== 公共領域標誌的Chooser所要求的資訊能帶來何種利益？ ====

任何您使用公共領域標誌Chooser時所提供的資訊將被納入在連結該著作之公共領域標誌契約書以及機器可讀碼中。潛在的著作使用者可進而使用該資訊以找到更多關於該著作的訊息與狀態，雖然資訊的領域係可選擇的，為了使用者的利益我們仍鼓勵您盡可能地提供所有資訊。

==== 公共領域標誌是否會要求那些使用我所標記之著作的人給予我或作者對價？ ====

不會，不論是標記著作的人或是該著作的作者並不會因而取得對價或是姓名標示。但這也不表示你將著作數位化及／或符合專業規範與標準以標記著作的努力會白費，也就是說您仍可向使用者或是作者請求對價。

公共領域標誌讓使用者便於引用著作，若作者與著作的資訊在公共領域標誌裡呈現，HTML的引用欄亦會出現於契約書上。該著作的使用者可以輕易複製該欄位裡的HTML碼並貼在該著作的使用處以提供這些引用資訊。我們非常鼓勵各個使用公共領域標誌Choose的人能夠提供這些資訊，並且不論何時生效，我們都十分希望使用者能善用這些已準備好的資訊。

=== 使用具有公共領域標誌之著作的相關問題 ===

==== 每個人都可以使用標有公共領域標誌之著作嗎？ ====

是的。公共領域標誌並無使用者的限制。一般來說，任何不受著作權限制的著作可在不需任何人允許之下被用於任何用途（包含商業用途）。然而要注意的是，使用者在運用標有公共領域標誌之著作時，仍要了解公共領域標誌在其他資訊中所定義出的重要注意事項。其他可能發生的情況例如：具有公共領域標誌著作並非在全世界的國家都不受著作權限制，或是除了著作權限制之外，尚有其他法律規定此著作的用途。

請參閱以下可能發生的情況，如果您對於如何運用標記公共領域標誌之著作有疑慮，請諮詢您的法律顧問。

==== 我真的可以將具有公共領域標誌之著作用在任何用途？任何地方？ ====

與那些在公共及相關領域標示為「不受著作權限制」之著作（包含在Flickr公眾授權方案、博物館、圖書館網站及其他地方之著作）相同，您所得到的答案很簡單：「視情況而定」，在這方面，公共領域標誌和其他公共領域的標記系統沒有不同。
但公共領域標誌和其他公共領域標記系統相比之下有一個非常重要的優勢，那就是公共領域標誌契約有警示著作使用者關於在使用著作時可能會發生的使用限制。使用限制與注意事項被標示在其他資訊底下的公共領域標誌契約。我們強烈建議使用者於使用公共領域標誌著作前（或其他涵蓋有公共領域相關之著作前），先詳讀及理解這些使用限制與注意事項。

==== 為何在某一國家中不受著作權限制並不代表在任何地方都無著作權限制？ ====

著作權法在世界各地因規定不同而異，並無統一或標準的著作權法給各國家來定義著作是否已不再受到著作權的限制，例如，著作在某國的法律規定被釋出至公共領域並不表示同樣適用於其他國家的法律。因此，同樣的著作，在某些國家會受到著作權法的限制，但在其他國家不會。一個著作可能會因許多不同因素，而具有不同的受限制或「混合型」公共領域狀態。有些國家會有冗長的著作權條款，言下之意為著作雖然幾乎在世界任何地方都免於著作權法的限制，但仍可能在特定的國家受到著作權法的保護。有時著作會不再受到著作權法限制的原因是因為該作者或權利人並未遵守相關程序規定，例如延展登記著作權期限或是公布其著作受到著作權保護。再者，某些種類的著作也會因國家的不同而有著作權法限制與否的差異，美國政府著作就有發生這樣的情形。

創用CC（Creative Commons）並不建議將現有的公共領域標誌使用於有上述情形之著作（即在部份國家是屬於公共領域但在其他國是受到著作權限制）。我們選擇事先告知可能的情形，讓使用者知道可能會發生以上的情況，即使這些情況可能在很久之後才會發生。

==== 可以用哪些方法來確定那些即將被標記公共領域標誌的著作並未被現有著作權法限制？====

這要看情況。創用CC（Creative Commons）並沒有替想採用公共領域標誌的使用者設立相關標準、期望和建議步驟，事實上，我們也沒有權利作這樣的事情，各單位或是個人應自行判斷他們要標記公共領域標誌的著作是否免於著作權的限制。

我們希望相關判定方法可以被廣泛公布與說明，使那些即將要採用公共領域標誌著作的使用者能夠了解其所採取的審查步驟。我們也鼓勵那些將要採用公共領域標誌著作的使用者，若對所採取的方法有疑問或想問進一步的問題，可以諮詢相關鑑定機構及專家。

此外，除非另有說明，當使用者將公共領域標誌使用於著作時，並不表示該使用者在使用前已經進行了調查或相關步驟，而創用CC（Creative Commons）並不會為有公共領域標誌的著作進行著作權狀態的校驗。

==== 還有其他的法律規定會限制我使用公共領域標誌的著作嗎？ ====

是的，有可能還有其他法律規定會限制您使用公共領域標誌著作。公共領域標誌只專注在著作權及相關法律，除了提醒使用者採用公共領域標誌著作可能會遇到的規範或限制外，並不涉及公共領域標制對其他法律是否具有適用性（或不適用性）。舉例來說，如果此著作中包含了人的圖片、聲音、隱私或公開權，此著作可能會在部份國家受到牽連。同樣地，根據著作的性質、內容及所在的國家，該著作可能就會因此受到個人資料保護法的保護及規範。
雖然大眾擁有自由使用公共領域標誌著作的自由，但此自由並不表示其可以違反其他的法律規範。正如創用CC（Creative Commons）所授權的著作，使用者在使用該著作於特定用途時，仍須留意此用途是否適用於其他法令規範。

==== 我需要將該著作之作者或將公共領域標誌適用在著作上的使用者標示出來嗎? ====

不需要。並未有法律規定您必須將著作之作者或將公共領域標誌適用在著作上的使用者標示出來，只有當有此要求時您才需要主動行使。若宣告者有提供相關資訊，公共領域標誌契約提供了HTML碼可供複製／貼上於網頁中，讓想要做這個標記動作的人，可輕易的標示出作者與著作。我們建議您如果遇到此情形，可以運用此複製／貼上的功能。

==== 我要怎麼確定我可以用我想要的方式來適用公共領域標誌之著作? ====

公共領域標誌包含擔保責任的免責聲明，就如同我們的授權及CC0，因此無法保證此著作因標有公共領域標誌而在世界各國皆不受著作權法的限制，您應該要留意著作權法之外的相關限制與範圍，例如隱私權、公開權、個人資料保護權法等等。若您有相關疑問，我們強烈建議您先不要使用該著作，除非您已進行所有步驟以及完成您認為應該做的防範措施，如先連絡採用公共領域標誌於著作的人以及諮詢法律顧問。

您應該了解本｢公眾領域標章的常見問題｣中所包含的資訊。以下資訊並非
全面，它可能並未涵蓋會影響您的的重要問題。
__TOC__
常見的問題集意在補充資訊而非取代現有的問題集與CC0的問題集，您亦可在使用公共領域標誌或是其他的法律工具與授權條款前先行參考我們所提供的下列問題集，並且應該仔細閱讀公共領域標誌的契約證書，此份證書與補充的資訊皆包含公共領域標誌著作的重要訊息，因此建議您的著作在適用公共領域標誌前，或是使用公共領域標誌之著作前應先完全理解。

請注意：創用CC（Creative Commons）並非提供法律意見，而下列資訊亦非取代法律建議，內容也可能不夠詳盡，如果還有其他問題或是對下列資訊、公共領域標誌、創用CC（Creative Commons）之授權條款與工具有任何疑慮，請諮詢您的法律顧問。

=== Questions about the Public Domain Mark generally ===

==== 什麼是公共領域標誌？ ====

公共領域標誌是一種工具，任何人都可以將公共領域標誌標記於已不受著作權限制的作品之上，讓公眾知道此著作之公共狀態並能輕易發現。公共領域標誌並非如同CC0或授權是一種法律文書，它只能用來標記在全球年代相隔久遠且已不受著作權限制的著作，不用來改變該著作於著作權法下現在的狀態，或是影響任何人關於此著作的相關權益。就如同CC0與我們的授權，公共領域標誌具有元數據支持之證書且可被機器讀取，讓適當被標記之著作可於網路上立即被發現。

==== 公共領域標誌如何運作？ ====

任何人皆可在全球已不受著作權限制之著作上標記公共領域標誌。著作的資訊、作者、以及標記公共領域標誌之人，這些資訊都將透過我們的公共領域標誌Chooser來提供，並嵌入該著作的HTML中。提供這些資訊後，可以幫助著作使用者評估此著作的著作權狀態，並更了解此著作。再次提醒，請記得公共領域標誌不會影響該著作的法律狀態或是作者的法律上權益，公共領域標誌只具有標誌的作用。

====公共領域標誌與CC0之差異？====

CC0與公共領域標誌兩者大不相同並具有特別目的， CC0僅有作者或是著作權及其相關權利或是鄰接權（包含特別的資料庫保護權）之所有權人能使用，且該著作仍受限於一國或是多國中的上述權利；而公共領域標誌則是開放任一人使用以及意圖使用已免於全球現有著作權限制的著作。

工具也會隨著適用到著作所生之結果而異，CC0在法律面來說即改變該著作的著作權狀態，也就是有效地拋棄全球所有的著作權及其相關之法律或是鄰接權，然公共領域標誌並非合法執行—它就如同一個標籤，標示該著作免於現有已知的著作權限制。

請參考CC0與公共領域標誌的特性比較表，並瞭解更多關於公共領域標誌。

====我可以將公共領域標誌使用於數據上嗎? 例如元數據、或是資料庫。====

可以的，公共領域標誌可以使用在任何已不受著作權限制的著作之上。例如，您可以將公共領域標誌標示在元數據，也就是資料的資料，前提為此元數據並不具有可著作權性或已不受著作權限制。又例如，不論照片是否被著作權所保護，描述此照片的元數據仍可能不被著作權所保護，因此在此例中，公共領域標誌即可使用在元數據上。

公共領域標誌亦可使用在未被著作權所保護的資料庫上，包括含有元數據的資料庫。在不同的國家中，對於處理資料庫的著作權法有著不同的規定，有時候差異是很大的。此外，在某些國家中會給予資料庫特殊的保護，儘管這些資訊本身處於公共領域，但仍可能會限制從資料庫中汲取及／或再次使用的能力。若您不確定資料庫在各國是否被著作權所保護，那麼您不應該將此資料庫標記公共領域標誌，但您可以使用公共領域標誌以標示資料庫中未被保護的內容。

若您是資料庫的建立者或標記者，且希望能確保任何人皆可自由的使用此內容（當然其他權利仍可適用於資料庫中的內容，例如在著作權保護下的照片），那麼您可以考慮使用CC0來拋棄您所擁有的著作權以及資料庫中本身的特殊保護。在所有情況下，清楚的標記公共領域標誌及CC0是很重要的。

==== 何謂CC的公共領域貢獻與認證？這項工具仍可被使用嗎？ ====

隨著公共領域標誌的推行，創用CC即貶低了本身的公共領域貢獻及認證(PDDC)。創用CC不再建議於任何情況下使用PDDC，因為我們發現一種工具若具有雙重功能將會造成混淆，而PDDC正具有雙重目的：允許著作權人貢獻其著作給大眾，以及在公共領域中標記和認證其著作。在2008年初期，我們發表了CC0來作為PDDC的貢獻功能，同時我們也宣布將會改善人們標示或標誌與公共領域相關的著作權狀態之方式，而公共領域標誌即是改善後的一種工具，並且已取代以往PDDC所具有的標示及標誌的功能。

對於曾經使用過PDDC的人，我們也保證創用CC會繼續提供支持與履行PDDC契約。

若您需要認證你的公共領域貢獻，你可以造訪服務提供者，例如RegisteredCommons

=== 欲適用公共領域標誌於著作的人可能遇到的問題 ===

==== 誰可以使用公共領域標誌於著作上？ ====

任何一個相信特定著作已不受著作權限制的人皆可使用。但需要留意的是，公共領域標誌僅能適用於在全球已不受著作權限制的著作，千萬不可適用於僅於數個國家中被釋出到公共領域的著作，也因此我們發現公共領域標誌目前大多只能適用到年代相隔久遠的著作。

==== 若我希望適用公共領域標誌於著作上，我是否需要對他人擔保或承諾該著作在世界上已不受著作權之限制？ ====

不需要，除非法律另有規定或是您自己想要作此保證。如同所有的創用CC法律工具，公共領域標誌的契約書實已包含此種具有法律效力並可執行的免除責任與其他責任之聲明條款。此外，公共領域標誌的契約書中亦提醒使用者注意該著作可能尚未全面免於著作權之限制，此注意事項旨在提醒那些潛在使用者很難顧全所有的法律規定以及所有國家可能影響著作權狀態的事實條件。

儘管有這些免除責任與注意規定，如果您確定您欲適用公共領域標誌的著作於一個或是多個國家中尚處於著作權保護中，就不要適用公共領域標誌。我們目前正盡速設計標示此種在部份國家已被釋出到公共領域而於其他國家中仍受著作權法限制之著作的方法。

==== 如何適用公共領域標誌到著作上？ ====

我們的公共領域標誌Chooser將會帶領您走過整個流程，當完成時會給您一個HTML碼，讓您可以複製並貼到您的網站上。請注意，您自己（挑選該著作的人）可以選擇是否要在您的網站上或是其他地方公布此種標有公共領域標誌的著作，創用CC並不會公布任何著作也不會承擔這個責任。

不論作者或是創作者是否想要著作權，著作權法與世界上其他法律都自動對作者的作品及資料庫，提供著作權保護。CC0給那些想拋棄這些權利的人一個管道，在符合法律規定的最大範圍內，拋棄其權利。一旦創作者或是後來作品所有權人採用CC0到他們的作品上，在著作權法上他們就已經不再擁有該作品了。在符合法律規定與其他人可能對該著作擁有的權利或是該著作使用方式的前提下，任何人皆可以任何方式、為任何目的使用（包含商業目的）使用該著作，故CC0就是一種「不保留權利」的選擇。

==== 如何運作？ ====

使用CC0的人（法律稱之為宣告者），在符合法律規定的最大範圍內，透過拋棄其所擁有的著作權、鄰接權及該作品的相關權利，於將作品貢獻至公眾領域。若該拋棄因任何理由而無效，則CC0成為宣告者所為之准許公眾無條件、不可撤回、非專屬以及為人何目的而無償使用的授權。

==== CC0與公眾領域標誌(Public Domain Mark, PDM)有哪些差異？====

CC0與公眾領域標誌兩者大不相同並具有不同目的，CC0設計為僅供作者、著作權人、相關所有權利（包含特別的資料庫權）人或是鄰接權人使用，且適用之作品須於一個或數個法域中，受到前述權利保護者；而公眾領域標誌則供任何人使用，並設計為使用於於全世界皆不受著作權保護的作品。工具也會隨著適用到著作所生之效果而異。CC0在法律面來說，當它被使用時，會改變該作品的著作權狀態，以全世界為範圍，有效地拋棄所有的著作權、相關權利或是鄰接權；而公眾領域標誌並非一個改變權利狀態的手段，它被設計為具有標籤功能，標示該作品不受現有已知的著作權保護。

請參考CC0與[http://wiki.creativecommons.org/CC0_PDM_comparison_chart 公眾領域標誌的特性比較表]，並瞭解更多關於[http://wiki.creativecommons.org/PDM_FAQ 公眾領域標誌]。

=== 考慮適用CC0到其作品的人所應思考的問題 ===

==== 誰可以使用CC0？ ====

任何一位擁有作品之著作權、鄰接權及其相關權利（如資料庫權）者，皆可使用CC0以拋棄上述權利。但請特別注意，CC0就像一條單行道，一旦您適用CC0於作品，即無法改變心意進而再次就該作品主張著作權或是資料庫權。在部份情況中，很難決定某個作品是否有資格取得著作權保護（例如資料庫中的大部份事實資訊）。儘管如此，CC0仍是一個向他人保證，您已拋棄任何可能的著作權保護的好方法。
雖然您在CC0下，並未作過任何關於著作權的擔保，但仍須注意當您散布該作品的同時，您仍就該作品具既有權利的第三人負有責任。例如您的著作包含另一依照創用CC姓名標示授權條款授權之他人著作時，您就必須分別指出那些著作、標示作者並提供授權。同樣的，如果是其他授權條款，您也必須在散布該著作，確認您已遵守授權規定。當然，如果您未取得散布他人著作的許可，則在使用CC0前，您應妥適取得著作權人的同意。

==== 如何適用CC0到我的著作？ ====

我們的選擇器(Chooser)[http://creativecommons.org/choose/zero/ chooser]將會帶領您走過整個流程，當完成時會給您一個
HTML碼，讓您可以複製並貼到您的網站上。請注意，您（即宣告者）自己可以選擇是否透過張貼在您的網站或是其他地方而公開發表使用CC0釋出的著作，但創用CC並不會公開發表任何著作，也不會承擔這個責任。

====將CC0選擇器所要求的資訊包和在內有甚麼好處？====

您使用選擇器(Chooser)時所提供的資訊，將被包含在因此產生的CC0文字以及機器可讀碼(machine-readable code)中。您作品的潛在利用人可進而使用該資訊以找到更多關於您作品的訊息。對潛在的使用者而言，特別有價值的地方應該是您在在哪一個法域中，以CC0釋出您的作品，我們鼓勵您盡可能的提供這些資訊。同時也請留意，您選擇的法域並非指定準據法或是管轄法院條款（在CC0中並沒有準據法以及管轄法院條款的概念）。

====可否適用CC0至電腦軟體？如果可以的話，有何建議？====

是的，CC0是個適合在符合法律規定的最大的範圍內，將電腦軟體中的著作權及其相關權利釋出到公眾領域的方法。[[Frequently_Asked_Questions#Can_I_use_a_Creative_Commons_license_for_software.3F|不像CC授權並不適用於軟體]]，CC0與許多軟體授權條款相容，[http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#CC0 包含大眾授權條款(General Public License, GPL)]。然而，CC0並未經過[http://opensource.org/ Open Source Initiative(OSI)] 認可，也不會授權或是影響您可能擁有的專利權。您可能也想考慮使用經OSI認可的授權，而非CC0，例如[http://opensource.org/licenses/GPL-3.0 通用授權條款3.0] [http://opensource.org/licenses/Apache-2.0 或是阿帕契 2.0] 。

創用CC與自由軟體基金會(Free Software Foundation)建議若於軟體上使用CC0，則應將下列的標示置於每個檔案的上頭：

:<程式名稱>-<說明>

: <年><作者名字><作者的電子郵件信箱>

:[其他作者／貢獻人將適當劃線表列]

:在法律許可的範圍內，作者（們）已將此軟體的著作權、相關權利與鄰接權釋出到全球的公眾領域。此軟體之散布不含任何擔保責任。

:您應該已經連同軟體取得一份CC0的公眾領域貢獻宣告複本，若沒有收到，則請見：http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/。

建議您同時加上一份內含有法律條款、以plain text方式儲存、命名為COPYING（或是COPYING.txt）的檔案。

==== 若他人使用我的著作，CC0是否要求該他人標示我的姓名？ ====

不需要，因為這就是CC0與我們其他授權的最大不同之處，不同於CC授權，CC0中並未含有任何條件，就如同任何進入到公眾領域的資訊，其他人在使用、改作CC0釋出作品時，不需要標示姓名。然而，但這並不代表您不可依社群或專業規範與標準，要求此姓名標示。

當您決定使用CC0，姓名標示的要求並無法律拘束力（例如當作著作權授權的條件），但可依據倫理道德、專業規範請求，如學界與科學界均有此等規範。這些規範可以被非常清楚說明、廣泛地適用，並透過自我監督的方式貫徹，就如同在學界關於引用他人作品的標準（以倫理道德與專業聲譽為基礎，而非法律）。但在部份情況中，因為新技術或領域的出現，將這些規範確實貫徹於特定情境中需要進一步建立共識與說理過程。

==== CC0是否在任何地方皆消除著作權及其相關權利？ ====

請不要將CC0中的0作文義解釋，因為沒有任何一種法律工具可以消除每個國家著作中的著作權利益。

CC0並不會影響著作權及其相關權利中的兩個重要內涵：第一，就如同我們的授權，CC0並不會影響著作中其他人的權利或是其使用方式，如形像權或是隱私權；第二，有些國家的法律不允許作者或是著作權人拋棄他們擁有的全部權利，如著作人格權。當拋棄因為任一理由而無法生效，CC0即扮演公眾授權的角色，達成原本拋棄所欲達成的效果，儘管有時將該等權利授權並非有效。這些因素會因不同法域而有所不同。

雖然我們無法確定所有的著作權及其相關權利在各地均被拋棄，但我們相信CC0將於法律允許的最大範圍內，切斷您與你的作品之間的法律關係。

==== 當我使用CC0時拋棄何種權利？ ====

您拋棄了您作品中的著作權、鄰接權及其相關權利，包含您可能擁有的任何資料庫權，同時也拋棄了自己所擁有的形像權或是隱私權。舉例而言，也若作品中含有您的影像，您就無法主張他人因為使用該作品而侵害這些權利。在部分法域中，您可能無法拋棄所有的著作權、鄰接權及其相關權利。例如著作人格權與其他未知的權利，在某些法域中是難以拋棄的。當法律上無法拋棄這些權利時，這些權利可於法律准許範圍內，以CC0授權釋出，當然，有時這些權利可能無法事先授權或是完全無法授權。

==== 何謂鄰接權？ ====

鄰接權包含數種除傳統著作權外，法律所規定賦予的權利。表演藝術家、紀錄製作人與其他參與廣播或是電視者通常都是鄰接權的所有權人，其中可能包括散布、表演及／或利用權。部份法域將著作權延伸以保護這些權利，但其他國家則是另以鄰接權或與其相關權利保護之。

當您使用CC0而拋棄鄰接權時，並不會影響到他人的著作權或其他相關權利。舉例而言，當您以CC0釋出錄音著作時，您只是拋棄以數位形式播放該錄音的專屬權利，但您使用CC0並不會影響到該音樂作曲家所擁有的著作權。又，鄰接權也會因為各法域規定而有所不同。

==== 何謂資料庫權？ ====

資料庫權包含那些未受著作權法保護的事實資訊。有些法域的著作權法包含資料庫的設計與架構，但有些法域，如歐盟，對於不受著作權法保護資料庫，會特別立法保護。雖然資料庫權受到著作權或其他形式的法律保護，但CC0所設計的涵蓋範圍是包括著作權法及資料庫法，換言之，資料庫的相關法律保護可透過CC0被拋棄。

====一旦公布使用CC0後，我是否仍能控制我的作品？ ====

恐怕不行。CC0的目的係為了將作品釋出到公眾領域的，就如同今日公眾領域內的所有作品，任何人皆可以任何目的使用您的作品，儘管他的使用方式會讓您厭惡與不悅。他們也可利用您的作品賺錢，他們可能會標示您的姓名，可能不會。只有商標權才是您得以保留控制權的部分，倘若他人欲使用您的商標並結合您採用CC0所散布的作品時，依照商標法規定，該他人必須得到您的同意方能使用。

若真的擔心您著作被使用的方式，或是想以合法的方式要求姓名標示，或是不希望他人藉由您的作品賺錢，那麼您就應該放棄使用CC0，而改以我們所提供的其他授權代替之。

==== 關於其他智慧財產的相關權利，如商標權、專利權？ ====

CC0明確聲明不會影響到宣告者的商標權與專利權，僅會影響到著作權、相關權利與鄰接權，包括資料庫權。商標權不會被影響，因為採用CC0的創作者應能保障與其商標相關聯的產品品質（例如透過避免後續利用人，誤導他人以為作品的使用與/或形式，是與宣告者有關或獲得其同意），如果您的主要考慮是確保與您的名字或計畫連結的商品品質與完整度，那麼結合CC0的商標可能是您可考慮的選擇之一。

專利則具有更大的挑戰性，創用CC的其中一個目標就是以鼓勵他人使用的方式，鼓勵資訊的使用與散布，有時甚至以讓人驚奇或出乎意料的方式。但我們以只處理著作權的方式來達到上述目標，而不處理複雜的專利權。我們希望盡可能的讓CC0維持簡單的操作方式，維持它原先設計與目標。我們認為，將專利權包涵其中的優點其實小於同時造成的缺點。

==== 使用CC0是否會影響我的不承諾擔保？====

不會，CC0明確不提供任何擔保與聲明(第4(b))，在法律許可的範圍內，這不會影響CC0對所有著作權相關權利的拋棄。在任何資產的處分（不論是否無償）中，前手常會聲明除了該資產交易當時的現狀外，前手不會對資產移轉後的瑕疵負任何責任。正如同在其他財產交易中所使用的放棄聲明，藉由CC0，著作權人拋棄其權利後，及不附任何義務（包括擔保責任）。

=== 想使用CC0釋出作品的人，應該思考的問題 ===

==== 是否任何人皆可使用經CC0散布的著作？ ====

可以。CC0並不會限制何人使用CC0著作。一旦採用CC0後，在第三人對於該作品的權利及如何使用該作品的權利範圍內，與法律限制的範圍內，任何人以任何方式、為任何目的使用該作品，包含商業上目的。

==== 當他人以CC0釋出作品時，我是否需要標示該他人姓名？ ====

不需要。法律上您無須標示其姓名，只有一般會期待若該他人有姓名標示的要求時，您會自發性的遵守。如果宣告者有提供CC0 deed供的HTML碼，則您可將該HTM碼複製並貼在您的網站上，以簡單註明作者與其作品。

==== 為何有些作品會指出該作品的發表地或公開地法域？ ====

CC0選擇器讓宣告者有機會指出作品提供地之所屬法域，若由宣告者如此提供，則該資訊將包含在CC0文字中，並標注在作品上與機器可讀碼中。

該法域資訊將有助於使用者瞭解他們對該作品可做或可不做什麼。還有其他重要因素會影響宣告者拋棄的權利為何、使用者擁有何種權利（另外一個例子是使用者的所在法域）。但CC0作品釋出地所屬法域是可以幫助利用人利用作品的最重要資訊之一。

仍須注意的是，宣告者所選擇的法域並非因為準據法條款或是管轄選定條款的約定（CC0中並無轉句法條款或管轄選定條款）。此外，切記不要認為該法域資訊的唯一絕對目的，是決定利用者所可能擁有的權利。它只是您再利用以CC0釋出到公共領於作品時，應考慮諸多事實（若宣告者適當選擇的話）的其中之一。不論宣告者是否指出作品提供地所屬法域，為了多瞭解該作品，您應該盡量聯繫到宣告者或是諮詢您的法律顧問。。

==== 若要使用CC0著作，我需要取得何種權利？====

視情況而定。若您想要使用宣告者的商標就必須先取得宣告者的同意，因為CC0並不會影響商標權。此外，若在作品中涉及其他人權利，須取得該他人之同意，如他人的肖像或形象出現在攝影或其他作品中而涉及該他人之隱私權或是形象權的情況。

====我如何確定我擁有使用CC0著作所需要取得的權利？ ====

就如同我們的授權，CC0包含擔保責任的免責聲明，因此無法保證宣告者（即採用CC0於作品的人）擁有所有准許使用CC0作品的必要權利。適用CC0於作品上的人亦不提供保證，包括其是否具有著作權、以第三人作品為基礎或是混合第三人作品之作品已取得第三人之使用同意。若您仍有相關疑問，我們強烈建議您先不要使用該作品，除非您已進行完所有步驟以及您認為應該做的防範措施，這些措施包括先連絡適用CC0於著作的人以及諮詢法律顧問。

以下為公共領域標誌問題集所包含的資訊，建議您在使用公共領域標誌前能先熟悉瞭解。下列資訊可能不夠詳盡無法解決您的重要問題，敬請見諒。
__TOC__
常見的問題集意在補充資訊而非取代現有的問題集與CC0的問題集，您亦可在使用公共領域標誌或是其他的法律工具與授權條款前先行參考我們所提供的下列問題集，並且應該仔細閱讀公共領域標誌的契約證書，此份證書與補充的資訊皆包含公共領域標誌著作的重要訊息，因此建議您的著作在適用公共領域標誌前，或是使用公共領域標誌之著作前應先完全理解。

請注意：創用CC（Creative Commons）並非提供法律意見，而下列資訊亦非取代法律建議，內容也可能不夠詳盡，如果還有其他問題或是對下列資訊、公共領域標誌、創用CC（Creative Commons）之授權條款與工具有任何疑慮，請諮詢您的法律顧問。

=== Questions about the Public Domain Mark generally ===

==== 什麼是公共領域標誌？ ====

公共領域標誌是一種工具，任何人都可以將公共領域標誌標記於已不受著作權限制的作品之上，讓公眾知道此著作之公共狀態並能輕易發現。公共領域標誌並非如同CC0或授權是一種法律文書，它只能用來標記在全球年代相隔久遠且已不受著作權限制的著作，不用來改變該著作於著作權法下現在的狀態，或是影響任何人關於此著作的相關權益。就如同CC0與我們的授權，公共領域標誌具有元數據支持之證書且可被機器讀取，讓適當被標記之著作可於網路上立即被發現。

==== 公共領域標誌如何運作？ ====

任何人皆可在全球已不受著作權限制之著作上標記公共領域標誌。著作的資訊、作者、以及標記公共領域標誌之人，這些資訊都將透過我們的公共領域標誌Chooser來提供，並嵌入該著作的HTML中。提供這些資訊後，可以幫助著作使用者評估此著作的著作權狀態，並更了解此著作。再次提醒，請記得公共領域標誌不會影響該著作的法律狀態或是作者的法律上權益，公共領域標誌只具有標誌的作用。

====公共領域標誌與CC0之差異？====

CC0與公共領域標誌兩者大不相同並具有特別目的， CC0僅有作者或是著作權及其相關權利或是鄰接權（包含特別的資料庫保護權）之所有權人能使用，且該著作仍受限於一國或是多國中的上述權利；而公共領域標誌則是開放任一人使用以及意圖使用已免於全球現有著作權限制的著作。

工具也會隨著適用到著作所生之結果而異，CC0在法律面來說即改變該著作的著作權狀態，也就是有效地拋棄全球所有的著作權及其相關之法律或是鄰接權，然公共領域標誌並非合法執行—它就如同一個標籤，標示該著作免於現有已知的著作權限制。

請參考CC0與公共領域標誌的特性比較表，並瞭解更多關於公共領域標誌。

====我可以將公共領域標誌使用於數據上嗎? 例如元數據、或是資料庫。====

可以的，公共領域標誌可以使用在任何已不受著作權限制的著作之上。例如，您可以將公共領域標誌標示在元數據，也就是資料的資料，前提為此元數據並不具有可著作權性或已不受著作權限制。又例如，不論照片是否被著作權所保護，描述此照片的元數據仍可能不被著作權所保護，因此在此例中，公共領域標誌即可使用在元數據上。

公共領域標誌亦可使用在未被著作權所保護的資料庫上，包括含有元數據的資料庫。在不同的國家中，對於處理資料庫的著作權法有著不同的規定，有時候差異是很大的。此外，在某些國家中會給予資料庫特殊的保護，儘管這些資訊本身處於公共領域，但仍可能會限制從資料庫中汲取及／或再次使用的能力。若您不確定資料庫在各國是否被著作權所保護，那麼您不應該將此資料庫標記公共領域標誌，但您可以使用公共領域標誌以標示資料庫中未被保護的內容。

若您是資料庫的建立者或標記者，且希望能確保任何人皆可自由的使用此內容（當然其他權利仍可適用於資料庫中的內容，例如在著作權保護下的照片），那麼您可以考慮使用CC0來拋棄您所擁有的著作權以及資料庫中本身的特殊保護。在所有情況下，清楚的標記公共領域標誌及CC0是很重要的。

==== 何謂CC的公共領域貢獻與認證？這項工具仍可被使用嗎？ ====

隨著公共領域標誌的推行，創用CC即貶低了本身的公共領域貢獻及認證(PDDC)。創用CC不再建議於任何情況下使用PDDC，因為我們發現一種工具若具有雙重功能將會造成混淆，而PDDC正具有雙重目的：允許著作權人貢獻其著作給大眾，以及在公共領域中標記和認證其著作。在2008年初期，我們發表了CC0來作為PDDC的貢獻功能，同時我們也宣布將會改善人們標示或標誌與公共領域相關的著作權狀態之方式，而公共領域標誌即是改善後的一種工具，並且已取代以往PDDC所具有的標示及標誌的功能。

對於曾經使用過PDDC的人，我們也保證創用CC會繼續提供支持與履行PDDC契約。

若您需要認證你的公共領域貢獻，你可以造訪服務提供者，例如RegisteredCommons

=== 欲適用公共領域標誌於著作的人可能遇到的問題 ===

==== 誰可以使用公共領域標誌於著作上？ ====

任何一個相信特定著作已不受著作權限制的人皆可使用。但需要留意的是，公共領域標誌僅能適用於在全球已不受著作權限制的著作，千萬不可適用於僅於數個國家中被釋出到公共領域的著作，也因此我們發現公共領域標誌目前大多只能適用到年代相隔久遠的著作。

==== 若我希望適用公共領域標誌於著作上，我是否需要對他人擔保或承諾該著作在世界上已不受著作權之限制？ ====

不需要，除非法律另有規定或是您自己想要作此保證。如同所有的創用CC法律工具，公共領域標誌的契約書實已包含此種具有法律效力並可執行的免除責任與其他責任之聲明條款。此外，公共領域標誌的契約書中亦提醒使用者注意該著作可能尚未全面免於著作權之限制，此注意事項旨在提醒那些潛在使用者很難顧全所有的法律規定以及所有國家可能影響著作權狀態的事實條件。

儘管有這些免除責任與注意規定，如果您確定您欲適用公共領域標誌的著作於一個或是多個國家中尚處於著作權保護中，就不要適用公共領域標誌。我們目前正盡速設計標示此種在部份國家已被釋出到公共領域而於其他國家中仍受著作權法限制之著作的方法。

==== 如何適用公共領域標誌到著作上？ ====

我們的公共領域標誌Chooser將會帶領您走過整個流程，當完成時會給您一個HTML碼，讓您可以複製並貼到您的網站上。請注意，您自己（挑選該著作的人）可以選擇是否要在您的網站上或是其他地方公布此種標有公共領域標誌的著作，創用CC並不會公布任何著作也不會承擔這個責任。

==== 公共領域標誌的Chooser所要求的資訊能帶來何種利益？ ====

任何您使用公共領域標誌Chooser時所提供的資訊將被納入在連結該著作之公共領域標誌契約書以及機器可讀碼中。潛在的著作使用者可進而使用該資訊以找到更多關於該著作的訊息與狀態，雖然資訊的領域係可選擇的，為了使用者的利益我們仍鼓勵您盡可能地提供所有資訊。

==== 公共領域標誌是否會要求那些使用我所標記之著作的人給予我或作者對價？ ====

不會，不論是標記著作的人或是該著作的作者並不會因而取得對價或是姓名標示。但這也不表示你將著作數位化及／或符合專業規範與標準以標記著作的努力會白費，也就是說您仍可向使用者或是作者請求對價。

公共領域標誌讓使用者便於引用著作，若作者與著作的資訊在公共領域標誌裡呈現，HTML的引用欄亦會出現於契約書上。該著作的使用者可以輕易複製該欄位裡的HTML碼並貼在該著作的使用處以提供這些引用資訊。我們非常鼓勵各個使用公共領域標誌Choose的人能夠提供這些資訊，並且不論何時生效，我們都十分希望使用者能善用這些已準備好的資訊。

=== 使用具有公共領域標誌之著作的相關問題 ===

==== 每個人都可以使用標有公共領域標誌之著作嗎？ ====

是的。公共領域標誌並無使用者的限制。一般來說，任何不受著作權限制的著作可在不需任何人允許之下被用於任何用途（包含商業用途）。然而要注意的是，使用者在運用標有公共領域標誌之著作時，仍要了解公共領域標誌在其他資訊中所定義出的重要注意事項。其他可能發生的情況例如：具有公共領域標誌著作並非在全世界的國家都不受著作權限制，或是除了著作權限制之外，尚有其他法律規定此著作的用途。

請參閱以下可能發生的情況，如果您對於如何運用標記公共領域標誌之著作有疑慮，請諮詢您的法律顧問。

==== 我真的可以將具有公共領域標誌之著作用在任何用途？任何地方？ ====

與那些在公共及相關領域標示為「不受著作權限制」之著作（包含在Flickr公眾授權方案、博物館、圖書館網站及其他地方之著作）相同，您所得到的答案很簡單：「視情況而定」，在這方面，公共領域標誌和其他公共領域的標記系統沒有不同。
但公共領域標誌和其他公共領域標記系統相比之下有一個非常重要的優勢，那就是公共領域標誌契約有警示著作使用者關於在使用著作時可能會發生的使用限制。使用限制與注意事項被標示在其他資訊底下的公共領域標誌契約。我們強烈建議使用者於使用公共領域標誌著作前（或其他涵蓋有公共領域相關之著作前），先詳讀及理解這些使用限制與注意事項。

==== 為何在某一國家中不受著作權限制並不代表在任何地方都無著作權限制？ ====

著作權法在世界各地因規定不同而異，並無統一或標準的著作權法給各國家來定義著作是否已不再受到著作權的限制，例如，著作在某國的法律規定被釋出至公共領域並不表示同樣適用於其他國家的法律。因此，同樣的著作，在某些國家會受到著作權法的限制，但在其他國家不會。一個著作可能會因許多不同因素，而具有不同的受限制或「混合型」公共領域狀態。有些國家會有冗長的著作權條款，言下之意為著作雖然幾乎在世界任何地方都免於著作權法的限制，但仍可能在特定的國家受到著作權法的保護。有時著作會不再受到著作權法限制的原因是因為該作者或權利人並未遵守相關程序規定，例如延展登記著作權期限或是公布其著作受到著作權保護。再者，某些種類的著作也會因國家的不同而有著作權法限制與否的差異，美國政府著作就有發生這樣的情形。

創用CC（Creative Commons）並不建議將現有的公共領域標誌使用於有上述情形之著作（即在部份國家是屬於公共領域但在其他國是受到著作權限制）。我們選擇事先告知可能的情形，讓使用者知道可能會發生以上的情況，即使這些情況可能在很久之後才會發生。

==== 可以用哪些方法來確定那些即將被標記公共領域標誌的著作並未被現有著作權法限制？====

這要看情況。創用CC（Creative Commons）並沒有替想採用公共領域標誌的使用者設立相關標準、期望和建議步驟，事實上，我們也沒有權利作這樣的事情，各單位或是個人應自行判斷他們要標記公共領域標誌的著作是否免於著作權的限制。

我們希望相關判定方法可以被廣泛公布與說明，使那些即將要採用公共領域標誌著作的使用者能夠了解其所採取的審查步驟。我們也鼓勵那些將要採用公共領域標誌著作的使用者，若對所採取的方法有疑問或想問進一步的問題，可以諮詢相關鑑定機構及專家。

此外，除非另有說明，當使用者將公共領域標誌使用於著作時，並不表示該使用者在使用前已經進行了調查或相關步驟，而創用CC（Creative Commons）並不會為有公共領域標誌的著作進行著作權狀態的校驗。

==== 還有其他的法律規定會限制我使用公共領域標誌的著作嗎？ ====

是的，有可能還有其他法律規定會限制您使用公共領域標誌著作。公共領域標誌只專注在著作權及相關法律，除了提醒使用者採用公共領域標誌著作可能會遇到的規範或限制外，並不涉及公共領域標制對其他法律是否具有適用性（或不適用性）。舉例來說，如果此著作中包含了人的圖片、聲音、隱私或公開權，此著作可能會在部份國家受到牽連。同樣地，根據著作的性質、內容及所在的國家，該著作可能就會因此受到個人資料保護法的保護及規範。
雖然大眾擁有自由使用公共領域標誌著作的自由，但此自由並不表示其可以違反其他的法律規範。正如創用CC（Creative Commons）所授權的著作，使用者在使用該著作於特定用途時，仍須留意此用途是否適用於其他法令規範。

==== 我需要將該著作之作者或將公共領域標誌適用在著作上的使用者標示出來嗎? ====

不需要。並未有法律規定您必須將著作之作者或將公共領域標誌適用在著作上的使用者標示出來，只有當有此要求時您才需要主動行使。若宣告者有提供相關資訊，公共領域標誌契約提供了HTML碼可供複製／貼上於網頁中，讓想要做這個標記動作的人，可輕易的標示出作者與著作。我們建議您如果遇到此情形，可以運用此複製／貼上的功能。

==== 我要怎麼確定我可以用我想要的方式來適用公共領域標誌之著作? ====

公共領域標誌包含擔保責任的免責聲明，就如同我們的授權及CC0，因此無法保證此著作因標有公共領域標誌而在世界各國皆不受著作權法的限制，您應該要留意著作權法之外的相關限制與範圍，例如隱私權、公開權、個人資料保護權法等等。若您有相關疑問，我們強烈建議您先不要使用該著作，除非您已進行所有步驟以及完成您認為應該做的防範措施，如先連絡採用公共領域標誌於著作的人以及諮詢法律顧問。

These Public Domain Mark FAQs contain information that you should familiarize yourself with before applying the Public Domain Mark (“PDM”) to a work, or before using a work that is marked with the PDM. The information provided below is not exhaustive – it may not cover important issues that could affect you.
__TOC__
These FAQs are intended to supplement, not replace, our existing [http://wiki.creativecommons.org/FAQ FAQ][http://www.ksaday.com s] and our [http://wiki.creativecommons.org/CC0_FAQ CC0 FAQ][http://www.walletputih.com s]. You are encouraged to review those FAQs before using the PDM or any of our other legal tools or licenses. You should also read the PDM deed carefully, as well as the information linked to from the deed. The deed and supplemental information contain important information about the work that has been marked, and should be fully understood before you apply it to a work or use a PDM-marked work.

Please note: '''Creative Commons does not provide legal advice.''' The information provided below is not a substitute for legal advice and is not complete. Please consult your own legal advisor if you have any questions or concerns about the information provided below, about the Public Domain Mark or about Creative Commons licenses and tools generally.

=== Questions about the Public Domain Mark generally ===

==== What is the Public Domain Mark? ====

The Public Domain Mark (“PDM”) is a tool that allows anyone to mark and tag a work that is free of known copyright restrictions worldwide, all in a way that clearly communicates that status to the public and allows it to be easily discoverable. The PDM is not a legal instrument like CC0 or our licenses; there is no accompanying legal code or agreement. It should only be used to label a work that is already free of known copyright restrictions around the world, typically very old works. It should not be used to attempt to change a work’s current status under copyright law, or affect any person’s rights in a work. Just like CC0 and our licenses, PDM has a metadata-supported deed and is machine readable, allowing works properly tagged to be readily discovered over the Internet.

==== How does it work? ====

Anyone can use the PDM to mark a work that is free of known copyright restrictions. Information about the work, its author(s), and the person marking the work is supplied through our [http://creativecommons.org/choose/mark PDM Choos][http://www.walletputih.com/2012/05/4shared-file-sharing-video-mp3-music.html er] and embedded in the HTML generated for the work. When supplied, this information may help users of the work evaluate the copyright status of the work for themselves, and learn more about the work. Again, please keep in mind that the PDM does not affect the legal status of the work or the legal rights of the author, the person identifying it or others. The PDM serves a marking and labeling function only.

====What is the difference between the PDM and CC0?====

PDM and CC0 differ in important respects and have distinct purposes. CC0 is intended for use only by authors or holders of copyright and related or neighboring rights (including sui generis database rights), in connection with '''works that are still subject to those rights''' in one or more jurisdictions. PDM, on the other hand, can be used by anyone, and is intended for use with''' works that are already free of known copyright restrictions throughout the world'''.

The tools also differ in terms of their effect when applied to a work. CC0 is legally operative in the sense that when it is applied, it changes the copyright status of the work, effectively relinquishing all copyright and related or neighboring rights worldwide. PDM is not legally operative in any respect – it is intended to function as a label, marking a work that is already free of known copyright restrictions worldwide.

Review a [http://wiki.creativecommons.org/CC0_PDM_comparison_chart chart comparing] [http://www.walletputih.com/2012/05/amoled-active-matrix-organic-light.html the] [http://wiki.creativecommons.org/CC0_PDM_comparison_chart attributes of PDM and CC0], and learn more about [http://wiki.creativecommons.org/CC0_FAQ CC0].

====Can I use the PDM with data, such as metadata? What about databases?====

Yes, PDM can be applied to any work that is free of known copyright restrictions. This means, for example, that you can use PDM to mark [http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Metadata metadata], which is data about data, if the metadata is not copyrightable or otherwise free of copyright. For example, whether or not a photograph is still protected by copyright, metadata that describes the photograph may be unprotected by copyright. In that instance, PDM could be applied to the metadata itself.

PDM can also be applied to databases that are not protected by copyright, including databases containing metadata. The treatment of databases under copyright law varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, however, sometimes dramatically. Additionally, databases are also granted sui generis protection in some jurisdictions, which may limit the ability to extract and/or reuse information from the database even if the information itself in the public domain. If you are uncertain whether a database is protected by copyright around the world, then you should not mark the database itself with the PDM, but could use PDM to mark unprotected content in the database.

If you are the creator or maker of a database and want to ensure that anyone can freely extract and reuse content (subject, of course, to other rights that may apply to the contents of the database such as a photograph still under copyright), then you may wish to consider using CC0 to waive all of your copyright and sui generis database rights in the database itself. In all cases, clearly marking and labeling the works to which PDM and CC0 apply is important.

==== What about CC’s Public Domain Dedication and Certification? Can that tool still be used? ====

With the launch of the PDM, Creative Commons is officially deprecating its Public Domain Dedication and Certification (“PDDC”). CC no longer recommends the PDDC for use in any situation. The PDDC had served the dual purposes of allowing a copyright holder to dedicate a work to the public domain, and to mark and certify a work as being in the public domain. We discovered that having a single tool performing both functions was confusing, among other things. In early 2008, we published [http://creativecommons.org/about/cc0 CC0] to take on the dedication function the PDDC had been performing. We [http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/13304 announced] at that time that we would be working to improve the way people mark or “tag” a work with information relevant to a work’s public domain status. The PDM is that improved tool. The PDM now assumes the marking and tagging function previously served by PDDC, thereby replacing the PDDC as the recommended tool of choice for doing so.

For those who have used the PDDC to date, you can remain confident that CC will continue to support and serve the PDDC deed.

If you need to certify your public domain dedication, you may visit a service provider such as [http://www.registeredcommons.org RegisteredCommons].

=== Questions for those thinking about applying the PDM to a work ===

==== Who can apply the Public Domain Mark to a work? ====

Anyone who believes a work is free of known copyright restrictions may use the PDM. Keep in mind, however, that the PDM is recommended only for works that are free of known copyright restrictions around the world. You should not apply the PDM to works that you know are only in the public domain in a limited number of jurisdictions. We anticipate that most of the time, the PDM in its current form will only be applied to very old works.

==== If I apply the PDM to a work, am I warranting or promising that the work is free of copyright around the world? ====

No, not unless the law otherwise provides or you want to provide a separate warranty to that effect. Like all CC legal tools, the PDM deed includes express disclaimers of warranties and liabilities, to the extent those are enforceable under applicable laws. Additionally, the PDM deed puts users on notice that the work may not be free of copyright restrictions in all jurisdictions. That notice is intended to caution would-be users of the work that it can be difficult to account for all laws and all possible underlying factual circumstances that impact the copyright status of a particular work in every jurisdiction.

Notwithstanding the disclaimers and notice, if you know that a work you would like to mark is still in copyright in one or more jurisdictions, please do not apply the PDM. We are working on other means for marking works that are in the public domain in some jurisdictions while still restricted by copyright in others, and hope to publish that soon.

==== How do I apply the PDM to a work? ====

Our [http://creativecommons.org/choose/mark PDM Chooser] will lead you through process. When completed, you will be provided with HTML code that you can copy and paste into your website. Please be aware that it is up to you, the person identifying the work, to publish the work marked with the PDM to your website or elsewhere. Creative Commons does not publish any works and cannot accept responsibility for doing so.

==== What are the benefits of including the information requested by the PDM Chooser? ====

The information you provide when using the PDM Chooser will be included in the rendered PDM deed that is linked to the work, as well as included in the machine-readable code. Potential users of the work can then use that information to find out more about the work and its status. Although the information fields are optional, we encourage you to provide all of the information you can for the benefit of users.

==== Does the PDM require those using a work I have marked to give me credit? Or the author? ====

No, there is no credit or attribution requirement, either for the person marking the work or the original author of the work. However, this does not mean that you cannot ask others to give you credit for your effort digitizing and/or marking the work in accordance with community or professional norms and standards.

PDM makes it very easy for users to cite the work itself. If information about the author and work is supplied during the PDM Chooser stage, an HTML citation box will appear on the deed. Users of the work can easily copy the code contained in the box and paste it into the webpage where the work is being used, providing citation information. We encourage everyone identifying works using the PDM Chooser to supply that information; and whenever made available, we encourage users of PDM-marked works to use the ready-to-use citation information.

=== Questions for those thinking about using a PDM-marked work ===

==== Can anyone use a work that is marked using the PDM? ====

Yes, the PDM doesn’t restrict who may use a marked work. Generally, any work free of copyright restrictions can be used for any purpose, even commercial purposes, without asking anyone’s permission first. Note, however, that the PDM deed identifies some important caveats under '''Other Information''' that all would-be users of the work should understand. Among others, it’s possible that a work marked using PDM is not free of all copyright restrictions in all jurisdictions around the world, or that other laws outside of copyright restrict how the work may be used. Read more about these possibilities and others, below.

If you are in doubt about whether or how you can use a PDM-marked work, you should consult with your legal advisor.

==== Am I really free to use a work marked with the PDM anyway I want, anywhere in the world? ====

Like all works that are labeled “free of known copyright restrictions,” “in the public domain” or similar – including works published on the Flickr Commons, museum or library websites or elsewhere – the answer is simple: “It depends.” In this one respect, PDM is no different than any other public domain marking system. That said, one of the most important advantages PDM has over other systems is that the deed alerts would-be users of a work to '''some''' of the important, potential limitations on their ability to use the work.

These potential limitations and caveats are highlighted on the PDM deed under '''Other Information'''. Users are strongly encouraged to review and understand those in advance of using a PDM-marked work (or any other work characterized as part of the public domain, for that matter).

==== Why might a free of copyright restrictions in one jurisdiction not be free of copyright restrictions everywhere? ====

Copyright laws around the world vary; there is no harmonized or standardized copyright law that all jurisdictions follow for purposes of determining when a work is no longer restricted by copyright. Additionally, circumstances causing a work to become part of the public domain under the laws of one jurisdiction may not cause a similar result under others’ laws. Thus, the identical work may be restricted by copyright in some jurisdictions while free of copyright in others.

A work may have this limited or “hybrid” public domain status for a variety of reasons. Some jurisdictions have unusually long copyright terms, which may mean that a work free from copyright restrictions most everywhere else in the world may still be protected by the copyright laws of that particular country. Sometimes a work is no longer restricted by copyright in a jurisdiction because the author or owner failed to comply with formalities such as renewal of registration or publication with notice, where those formalities apply. It could also be the case that certain categories of works are not protected by copyright by operation of law in a particular jurisdiction, but may be afforded protection under the copyright laws of other jurisdictions. This is the case, for example, with [http://www.usa.gov/copyright.shtml U.S. government works].

CC does not recommend the current version of PDM for works with are in public domain in some jurisdictions but known to be restricted by copyright in others. Even when this recommendation is followed, however, you should be aware that the possibility still exists. We choose to alert would-be users to that possibility up front, however remote it may be.

==== What practices do those who apply PDM to works use to arrive at a determination that a work is free of known copyright? ====

That will depend. CC has not established standards, expectations or even suggested practices for those choosing to apply the mark. Nor are we qualified to do so. Every institution and individual applying the mark must exercise their own judgment for marking works they wish to indicate are free of known copyright. Our hope is that those practices will be published widely and made transparent so that would-be users of PDM-marked works are able to understand the review that was undertaken. We also encourage potential users of PDM-marked works to inquire about those practices with the identifying institution or individual if they want to know more.

Unless otherwise stated to the contrary, however, the person applying the PDM to a work is not guaranteeing anything about it, including what processes or diligence they engaged in before applying the PDM to a work. Creative Commons does not verify the copyright status of works to which the Public Domain Mark has been applied.

==== Are there other laws I should be aware of that might restrict my ability to use a PDM-marked work? ====

Probably. PDM is focused exclusively on copyright law and related and [http://wiki.creativecommons.org/CC0_FAQ#What_are_neighboring_rights.3F neighboring rights]. It does not address the applicability (or inapplicability) of other laws, except to alert users that use of the work may be otherwise regulated or limited. For example, if the work contains an image or likeness of a person or their voice, privacy or [http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Faq#When_are_publicity_rights_relevant.3F publicity rights] may be implicated in some jurisdictions. Similarly, personal data protections laws could come into play depending on the nature of the work, its contents and the particular jurisdiction.

The freedom that comes with using a work in the public domain doesn’t extend to uses that may violate other applicable laws. Just as with works licensed under a CC license, you should be cognizant of other laws that may apply to your particular uses of a work.

==== Am I required to attribute the author of the work, or the person who applied the PDM to the work? ====

No, there is no legal requirement that you credit the author of the original work or the person who identified the work, only a request that you do so voluntarily if requested and the means are provided for doing so.

For purposes of author/work citation, the PDM deed provides HTML code that can be copy and pasted into a webpage to easily cite the author and the work if the person who marked the worked provided that information. We encourage you to take advantage of this copy/paste citation feature whenever possible.

==== How can I be sure that I can use the work as I would like? ====

The Public Domain Mark contains a disclaimer of warranties just like our licenses and CC0, so there is no assurance whatsoever that the work is free of all copyright restrictions in every jurisdiction around the world just because the mark is applied. You should also be aware of restrictions or limitations beyond copyright that may apply, such privacy, publicity, personal data laws and the like.

If you are in doubt, then we strongly recommend you not use the work until you have taken all the steps and precautions you feel you need to before doing so, which may include contacting the person who applied the PDM to the work and consulting legal counsel.

並且應該仔細閱讀CC0的法律規定，並在適用到您的著作前或是使用

請注意：創用CC（Creative Commons）並非提供法律意見，下列資

下列資訊、CC0、創用CC（Creative Commons）之授權條款與工具感到
疑慮，請諮詢您的法律顧問！

=== 關於CC0的一般問題 ===

==== 什麼是CC0？ ====

不論作者或是創作者是否想要著作權，著作權法與世界上其他法律都
自動將著作權的保護擴展到作者的著作以及資料庫，而CC0給那些想拋棄
著作權的人一個管道，並在符合法律規定下擴展該拋棄範圍，一旦創作者
或是後來著作的權利人都採用CC0到他們的著作上，在著作權法上他們就
已經不再擁有著作權了。在符合法律規定與其他人可能對該著作擁有的權
利或是該著作使用的方式下，任何人皆可以任何方式、目的使用（包含商
業上使用）該著作，故CC0就是一種「無保留權」的選擇。

==== 如何運作？ ====

使用CC0的人（法律稱之為宣告者）透過拋棄其所擁有的著作權、鄰
接權及該著作的相關權利等，於符合法律規定下的最大範圍將著作釋出到
公共領域中。若該拋棄因任何理由顯示為無效，則CC0就如同宣告者的授
權，准許公眾無條件的、不可撤銷的、非專屬的以及無須支付權利金即可
以任何目的使用該著作。

==== CC0與公共領域標誌(Public Domain Mark, PDM)之差異？====

CC0與公共領域標誌兩者大不相同並具有特別目的，CC0僅有作者或是
著作權及其相關權利或是鄰接權（包含特別的資料庫保護權）之所有權人
能使用，且該著作仍受限於一國或是多國中的上述權利；而公共領域標誌
則是開放供任何人使用，並意圖使用於已免於全世界現有著作權限制的著
作。
工具也會隨著適用到著作所生之結果而異，CC0在法律面來說即改變
該著作的著作權狀態，也就是有效地拋棄全球所有的著作權及其相關之法
律或是鄰接權，然公共領域標誌並非合法執行—它就如同一個標籤，標示
該著作免於現有已知的著作權限制。
請參考CC0與[http://wiki.creativecommons.org/CC0_PDM_comparison_chart 公共領域標誌的特性比較表]，並瞭解更多關於[http://wiki.creativecommons.org/PDM_FAQ 公共領域標誌]。

=== 關於適用CC0到著作上的相關問題 ===

==== 誰可以使用CC0？ ====

任何一位擁有著作之著作權、鄰接權及其相關權利（如資料庫權）皆
可使用CC0以拋棄上述權利。但請特別注意，CC0就像一條單行道，一旦
您適用CC0於著作即無法改變心意進而再次主張著作權或是資料庫權。在
部份案例中，很難決定某個物品是否具備取得著作權保護之資格（例如資
料庫中的大部份事實資訊），儘管如此，CC0仍是一個向他人保證您已拋
棄任何可能的著作權保護的好方法。雖然您在CC0下並未作過任何關於著
作權人的擔保，但仍須注意當您散布該著作的同時，亦對任一就該著作具
現有權利的第三人負有責任。例如您的著作包含另一依照創用CC姓名標
示授權條款授權之他人著作時，您就必須分開確認那些著作，並將該著作
歸屬於作者並提供授權。又如果是其他授權，亦必須確保您在散布著作前
已遵照授權規定。當然，如果您未取得散布他人著作的許可，即需在使用
CC0前適當取得著作權人的同意。

==== 如何適用CC0到我的著作？ ====

我們的[http://creativecommons.org/choose/zero/ chooser]將會帶領您走過整個流程，當完成時會給您一個
HTML碼，讓您可以複製並貼到您的網站上。請注意，您（即宣告者）自己
可以選擇是否透過張貼在您的網站或是其他地方而公布使用CC0的著作，
但創用CC並不會公布任何著作也不會承擔這個責任。

====選擇CC0者需要的資訊所帶來之利益為何？====

任何您使用Chooser所提供的資訊將被包含在著作上的CC0文字以及機
器可讀碼(machine-readable code)中。潛在的著作使用者可進而使用該資
訊以找到更多關於您著作的訊息，對潛在的使用者而言有價值的地方應該
是您在CC0下提供著作的國家，而我們鼓勵你們不論何時皆可盡量提供資
訊，同時也請留意您選擇的國家並非準據法或是管轄法院條款裡指定的國
家（在CC0中並沒有準據法以及管轄法院條款的概念）。

====可否適用CC0至電腦軟體？如果可以的話建議該如何使用？====

是的，CC0是個適合將電腦軟體中的著作權及其相關權利釋出到公共領域的方法，而且是符合法律規定下最大的範圍。 [[Frequently_Asked_Questions#Can_I_use_a_Creative_Commons_license_for_software.3F|不像CC授權並不適用於軟體]]，CC0與許多軟體授權條款相容
[http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#CC0 包含大眾授權條款(General Public License, GPL)]. 然而，CC0並未經過 [http://opensource.org/ 自由軟體(Open Source Initiative)] 的批准，也不會授權或是影響您可能擁有的專利權。您可能開始考慮使用經OSI准許的授權以取代CC0，例如 [http://opensource.org/licenses/GPL-3.0 大眾授權條款3.0] or [http://opensource.org/licenses/Apache-2.0 或是Apache 2.0].

創用與自由軟體基金會(Free Software Foundation)建議若於軟體上使用CC0，您與下列的注意事項將會標在每個檔案的上頭：

:<程式名稱>-<說明>

: <年><作者名字><作者的電子郵件信箱>

:[其他作者／貢獻人將適當劃線表列]

:在法律可能的範圍內，作者（們）曾將此軟體的著作權及其相關權利與鄰接權釋出到世界上的公共領域，且此軟體之散布不含任何擔保責任。

:您應該會連同軟體取得一份CC0的公共領域奉獻宣告複本，若沒有則請見： <http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/>.

同時建議您將檔案命名為COPYING（或是COPYING.txt）並包含[http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/legalcode.txt CC0的法律碼]。

==== 若他人使用我的著作，CC0是否要求該他人標示我的姓名？ ====

不需要，因為這就是CC0與我們授權的最大不同之處，不同於授權，CC0中並未含有任何條件，就如同任何進入到公共領域的東西，使其他人在使用、採用CC0時不需要標示姓名，但這並不代表您不可依公眾社會或是專業規範與標準要求此姓名標示。

當您決定使用CC0，姓名標示的要求並不受法律要件拘束（例如當作著作權授權的條件），但可依據倫理道德、專業規範請求，好比那些申請獎學金與科學的人。這些規範可以非常清楚、廣泛地、自我鞭策，就如同在學術社團中引用的標準（以倫理道德與專業聲譽為基礎，而非法律條件）。但在部份案例中，確實履行這些新技術或是出現的紀律規範是需要進一步建立共識與連結。

==== CC0是否在任何地方皆排除著作權及其相關權利？ ====

請不要將CC0中的0作文義解釋，因為沒有任何一種法律文書可以排除每個國家著作中的著作權利益。

CC0並不會影響著作權及其相關權利的兩種重要種類：第一，就如同我們的授權，CC0並不會影響著作上他人的權利或是其使用方式，如影像權或是隱私權；第二，有些國家的法律不允許作者或是著作權人拋棄他們所擁有的權利，如著作人格權。當拋棄因為任一理由而無法生效，CC0就好比自由的公開授權，儘管有時該授權並非有效且隨著各國的規定不同而異，但仍具備許多跟拋棄類似的效果。

當我們無法確定所有的著作權及其相關權利在何處被拋棄，但我們相信CC0將於法律允許的最大範圍內阻斷你與你的著作之間的法律關係。

==== 當我使用CC0時拋棄何種權利？ ====

您拋棄了您著作中的著作權、鄰接權及其相關權利，包含您可能擁有的任何資料庫權，同時也拋棄了自己所擁有的影像權或是隱私權，也就是說若著作中含有您的影像，您就無法主張他人因為使用該著作而違反上述權利。在其他國家中，您可能無法拋棄所有的著作權、鄰接權及其相關權利，例如著作人格權與其他未知的權利，當無法拋棄這些權利時即可透過CC0於法律准許範圍內被授權，然而，有時這些權利無法事先授權或是完全無法授權。

==== 何謂鄰接權？ ====

鄰接權包含數種除著作權外法律規定上的權利。表演的藝術家、紀錄製作人與其他電台或是電視廣播通常都是鄰接權的所有權人，其中可能包括散布、表演及／或開發權。部份國家將著作權延伸以保護這些權利，但其他國家則是另以鄰接權或與其相關權利保護。

然而，當您使用CC0而拋棄鄰接權時並不會影響到著作權或其他相關權利，意即當您對您擁有著作權的聲音紀錄採用CC0，您只是拋棄以數位形式播放該錄音的專屬權利，但您使用CC0並不會影響到該音樂作曲家所擁有的著作權。又，鄰接權也會因為各國規定而有所不同。

==== 何謂資料庫權？ ====

資料庫權包含那些未受著作權法保護的資訊。有些國家的著作權法有包含資料庫的設計與架構，但有些如歐盟中的國家在著作權法未保護資料庫時會特別立法保護，資料庫權不論以著作權或其他形式皆確實受到法律的保障，由於所有的著作權與資料庫權因為被CC0囊括而成為日後被拋棄的對象。

==== 一旦公布使用CC0的著作後，我可否控制該著作？ ====

並不一定。CC0係為了達到將著作釋出到公共領域的目的，就如同今日公共領域內的所有著作，儘管對方的使用方式會讓你產生厭惡與不悅，但任何人皆可以任何目的使用您的著作。而且該著作的使用者可能從您的著作上得到利益，這些利益可能會分配給您也可能不會。只有商標權才是您得以保留控制權的部分，倘若他人欲使用您的商標並結合您採用CC0所散布的著作時，依照商標法規定他人必須得到您的同意方能使用。

若真的擔心您著作被使用的方式，或是想尋求法律上要求的姓名標示，或是不希望他人藉由您的著作獲取利益，那麼您就應該放棄使用CC0，而改以我們所提供的其他授權代替之。

==== 關於其他智慧財產的相關權利，如商標權、專利權？ ====

CC0清楚說明不會影響到宣告者的商標權與專利權，僅會觸及到著作權及其相關權利與鄰接權、資料庫權。商標權不會被影響的原因是因為採用CC0的創作者在使用他們的商標後就必須保障商品的品質（例如透過避免後續著作的使用者誤導他人以為著作的使用係獲得宣告者的同意）。如果您首要擔心的是與您的名字或是與您的計畫相連結的商品品質與完善度，那麼結合CC0的商標可能是您的選擇之一。

專利則具有更大的挑戰性，創用CC的其中一個目標就是鼓勵他人在著作上使用與散布，而不希望見到令人感到驚訝或是不被期待的方式，但我們只能以著作權的方式來達到上述目的，而不透過較複雜的專利權。我們希望盡可能的讓CC0維持簡單的操作方式，維持它原先設計的理念。因此我們可以說包含拋棄專利的優點比內容物的不利還重要。

=== 他人欲使用CC0著作的相關問題 ===

==== 是否任何人皆可使用經CC0散布的著作？ ====

可以。一旦採用CC0後， CC0並不會限制何人使用CC0著作，以及任何人在該著作上的其他權利、使用方法的範圍、其他法律規定或是使用限制的範為內皆可以任何方法與目的（含商業上目的）使用之。

==== 當他人在其著作上採用CC0，我是否需要標示該人姓名？ ====

不需要。並未有法律規定您必須標示姓名，只有當有此要求時您才需要主動行使。若宣告者有提供相關資訊，CC0證書所提供的HTML碼可讓您用以複製並貼在您的網站上以簡單註明作者與其著作。

==== 為何有些著作以公布國指定作為管轄權國家？ ====

選擇CC0授權方式的宣告者將有權利以著作的提供國作為管轄權國家，若由宣告者提供，則該資訊將包含在CC0文字中並標注在著作上與機器可讀碼中。

以著作的提供國作為管轄權國家，將有助於使用者瞭解他們對該著作可做或可不做什麼，以及宣告者拋棄的權利為何、使用者擁有何種權利（另外如使用者的所在地），但最重要的是幫助使用者善加利用CC0著作。

仍須注意的是，宣告者所選擇的國家並非因為準據法條款或是管轄法院條款的約定，此外，切記不要過度信賴您作為CC0著作之使用者所可能擁有的權利，在使用釋出到公共領域的CC0著作前應該多加考慮，例如不論宣告者是否指定公布國為管轄國，為了多瞭解該著作，您應該盡量聯繫到宣告者或是諮詢您的法律顧問。

==== 若要使用CC0著作，我需要取得何種權利？====

視情況而定。若您想要使用宣告者的商標就必須先取得宣告者的同意，因為CC0並不會影響商標權。此外，若在照片或其他著作中使用到他人的肖像或形象而涉及該他人之隱私權或是形象權，則亦須取得該他人之同意。

==== 我如何確定我擁有使用CC0著作所需要取得的權利？ ====

就如同我們的授權，CC0包含擔保責任的免責聲明，因此無法保證宣告者（即採用CC0於著作的人）擁有所有准許使用CC0著作的必要權利。適用CC0於著作上的人亦不保證其是否具有著作權、以第三人著作為基礎或是混合第三人著作之著作已取得第三人之使用同意。若您仍有相關疑問，我們強烈建議您先不要使用該著作，除非您已進行完所有步驟以及您認為應該做的防範措施，如先連絡適用CC0於著作的人以及諮詢法律顧問。

CC0與公共領域標誌兩者大不相同並具有特別目的，CC0僅有作者或是
著作權及其相關權利或是鄰接權（包含特別的資料庫保護權）之所有權人
能使用，且該著作仍受限於一國或是多國中的上述權利；而公共領域標誌
則是開放供任何人使用，並意圖使用於已免於全世界現有著作權限制的著
作。
工具也會隨著適用到著作所生之結果而異，CC0在法律面來說即改變
該著作的著作權狀態，也就是有效地拋棄全球所有的著作權及其相關之法
律或是鄰接權，然公共領域標誌並非合法執行—它就如同一個標籤，標示
該著作免於現有已知的著作權限制。
請參考CC0與[http://wiki.creativecommons.org/CC0_PDM_comparison_chart 公共領域標誌的特性比較表]，並瞭解更多關於[http://wiki.creativecommons.org/PDM_FAQ 公共領域標誌]。

=== 關於適用CC0到著作上的相關問題 ===

==== 誰可以使用CC0？ ====

任何一位擁有著作之著作權、鄰接權及其相關權利（如資料庫權）皆
可使用CC0以拋棄上述權利。但請特別注意，CC0就像一條單行道，一旦
您適用CC0於著作即無法改變心意進而再次主張著作權或是資料庫權。在
部份案例中，很難決定某個物品是否具備取得著作權保護之資格（例如資
料庫中的大部份事實資訊），儘管如此，CC0仍是一個向他人保證您已拋
棄任何可能的著作權保護的好方法。雖然您在CC0下並未作過任何關於著
作權人的擔保，但仍須注意當您散布該著作的同時，亦對任一就該著作具
現有權利的第三人負有責任。例如您的著作包含另一依照創用CC姓名標
示授權條款授權之他人著作時，您就必須分開確認那些著作，並將該著作
歸屬於作者並提供授權。又如果是其他授權，亦必須確保您在散布著作前
已遵照授權規定。當然，如果您未取得散布他人著作的許可，即需在使用
CC0前適當取得著作權人的同意。

==== 如何適用CC0到我的著作？ ====

我們的[http://creativecommons.org/choose/zero/ chooser]將會帶領您走過整個流程，當完成時會給您一個
HTML碼，讓您可以複製並貼到您的網站上。請注意，您（即宣告者）自己
可以選擇是否透過張貼在您的網站或是其他地方而公布使用CC0的著作，
但創用CC並不會公布任何著作也不會承擔這個責任。

====選擇CC0者需要的資訊所帶來之利益為何？====

任何您使用Chooser所提供的資訊將被包含在著作上的CC0文字以及機
器可讀碼(machine-readable code)中。潛在的著作使用者可進而使用該資
訊以找到更多關於您著作的訊息，對潛在的使用者而言有價值的地方應該
是您在CC0下提供著作的國家，而我們鼓勵你們不論何時皆可盡量提供資
訊，同時也請留意您選擇的國家並非準據法或是管轄法院條款裡指定的國
家（在CC0中並沒有準據法以及管轄法院條款的概念）。

====可否適用CC0至電腦軟體？如果可以的話建議該如何使用？====

是的，CC0是個適合將電腦軟體中的著作權及其相關權利釋出到公共領域的方法，而且是符合法律規定下最大的範圍。 [[Frequently_Asked_Questions#Can_I_use_a_Creative_Commons_license_for_software.3F|不像CC授權並不適用於軟體]]，CC0與許多軟體授權條款相容
[http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#CC0 包含大眾授權條款(General Public License, GPL)]. 然而，CC0並未經過 [http://opensource.org/ 自由軟體(Open Source Initiative)] 的批准，也不會授權或是影響您可能擁有的專利權。您可能開始考慮使用經OSI准許的授權以取代CC0，例如 [http://opensource.org/licenses/GPL-3.0 大眾授權條款3.0] or [http://opensource.org/licenses/Apache-2.0 或是Apache 2.0].

創用與自由軟體基金會(Free Software Foundation)建議若於軟體上使用CC0，您與下列的注意事項將會標在每個檔案的上頭：

:<程式名稱>-<說明>

: <年><作者名字><作者的電子郵件信箱>

:[其他作者／貢獻人將適當劃線表列]

:在法律可能的範圍內，作者（們）曾將此軟體的著作權及其相關權利與鄰接權釋出到世界上的公共領域，且此軟體之散布不含任何擔保責任。

:您應該會連同軟體取得一份CC0的公共領域奉獻宣告複本，若沒有則請見： <http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/>.

同時建議您將檔案命名為COPYING（或是COPYING.txt）並包含[http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/legalcode.txt CC0的法律碼]。

==== 若他人使用我的著作，CC0是否要求該他人標示我的姓名？ ====

不需要，因為這就是CC0與我們授權的最大不同之處，不同於授權，CC0中並未含有任何條件，就如同任何進入到公共領域的東西，使其他人在使用、採用CC0時不需要標示姓名，但這並不代表您不可依公眾社會或是專業規範與標準要求此姓名標示。

當您決定使用CC0，姓名標示的要求並不受法律要件拘束（例如當作著作權授權的條件），但可依據倫理道德、專業規範請求，好比那些申請獎學金與科學的人。這些規範可以非常清楚、廣泛地、自我鞭策，就如同在學術社團中引用的標準（以倫理道德與專業聲譽為基礎，而非法律條件）。但在部份案例中，確實履行這些新技術或是出現的紀律規範是需要進一步建立共識與連結。

==== CC0是否在任何地方皆排除著作權及其相關權利？ ====

請不要將CC0中的0作文義解釋，因為沒有任何一種法律文書可以排除每個國家著作中的著作權利益。

CC0並不會影響著作權及其相關權利的兩種重要種類：第一，就如同我們的授權，CC0並不會影響著作上他人的權利或是其使用方式，如影像權或是隱私權；第二，有些國家的法律不允許作者或是著作權人拋棄他們所擁有的權利，如著作人格權。當拋棄因為任一理由而無法生效，CC0就好比自由的公開授權，儘管有時該授權並非有效且隨著各國的規定不同而異，但仍具備許多跟拋棄類似的效果。

當我們無法確定所有的著作權及其相關權利在何處被拋棄，但我們相信CC0將於法律允許的最大範圍內阻斷你與你的著作之間的法律關係。

==== 當我使用CC0時拋棄何種權利？ ====

您拋棄了您著作中的著作權、鄰接權及其相關權利，包含您可能擁有的任何資料庫權，同時也拋棄了自己所擁有的影像權或是隱私權，也就是說若著作中含有您的影像，您就無法主張他人因為使用該著作而違反上述權利。在其他國家中，您可能無法拋棄所有的著作權、鄰接權及其相關權利，例如著作人格權與其他未知的權利，當無法拋棄這些權利時即可透過CC0於法律准許範圍內被授權，然而，有時這些權利無法事先授權或是完全無法授權。

==== 何謂鄰接權？ ====

鄰接權包含數種除著作權外法律規定上的權利。表演的藝術家、紀錄製作人與其他電台或是電視廣播通常都是鄰接權的所有權人，其中可能包括散布、表演及／或開發權。部份國家將著作權延伸以保護這些權利，但其他國家則是另以鄰接權或與其相關權利保護。

然而，當您使用CC0而拋棄鄰接權時並不會影響到著作權或其他相關權利，意即當您對您擁有著作權的聲音紀錄採用CC0，您只是拋棄以數位形式播放該錄音的專屬權利，但您使用CC0並不會影響到該音樂作曲家所擁有的著作權。又，鄰接權也會因為各國規定而有所不同。

==== 何謂資料庫權？ ====

資料庫權包含那些未受著作權法保護的資訊。有些國家的著作權法有包含資料庫的設計與架構，但有些如歐盟中的國家在著作權法未保護資料庫時會特別立法保護，資料庫權不論以著作權或其他形式皆確實受到法律的保障，由於所有的著作權與資料庫權因為被CC0囊括而成為日後被拋棄的對象。

==== 一旦公布使用CC0的著作後，我可否控制該著作？ ====

並不一定。CC0係為了達到將著作釋出到公共領域的目的，就如同今日公共領域內的所有著作，儘管對方的使用方式會讓你產生厭惡與不悅，但任何人皆可以任何目的使用您的著作。而且該著作的使用者可能從您的著作上得到利益，這些利益可能會分配給您也可能不會。只有商標權才是您得以保留控制權的部分，倘若他人欲使用您的商標並結合您採用CC0所散布的著作時，依照商標法規定他人必須得到您的同意方能使用。

若真的擔心您著作被使用的方式，或是想尋求法律上要求的姓名標示，或是不希望他人藉由您的著作獲取利益，那麼您就應該放棄使用CC0，而改以我們所提供的其他授權代替之。

==== 關於其他智慧財產的相關權利，如商標權、專利權？ ====

CC0清楚說明不會影響到宣告者的商標權與專利權，僅會觸及到著作權及其相關權利與鄰接權、資料庫權。商標權不會被影響的原因是因為採用CC0的創作者在使用他們的商標後就必須保障商品的品質（例如透過避免後續著作的使用者誤導他人以為著作的使用係獲得宣告者的同意）(for example, by preventing a subsequent user of the work from leading others to believe the work in its subsequent use and/or form is associated with or endorsed by the affirmer).。如果您首要擔心的是與您的名字或是與您的計畫相連結的商品品質與完善度，那麼結合CC0的商標可能是您的選擇之一。

專利則具有更大的挑戰性，創用CC的其中一個目標就是鼓勵他人在著作上使用與散布，而不希望見到令人感到驚訝或是不被期待的方式，但我們只能以著作權的方式來達到上述目的，而不透過較複雜的專利權。我們希望盡可能的讓CC0維持簡單的操作方式，維持它原先設計的理念。因此我們可以說包含拋棄專利的優點比內容物的不利還重要。We concluded that any perceived benefits of including a patent waiver were significantly outweighed by the downsides of its inclusion.

=== 他人欲使用CC0著作的相關問題 ===

==== 是否任何人皆可使用經CC0散布的著作？ ====

可以。一旦採用CC0後， CC0並不會限制何人使用CC0著作，以及任何人在該著作上的其他權利、使用方法的範圍、其他法律規定或是使用限制的範為內皆可以任何方法與目的（含商業上目的）使用之。

==== 當他人在其著作上採用CC0，我是否需要標示該人姓名？ ====

不需要。並未有法律規定您必須標示姓名，只有當有此要求時您才需要主動行使。若宣告者有提供相關資訊，CC0證書所提供的HTML碼可讓您用以複製並貼在您的網站上以簡單註明作者與其著作。

==== 為何有些著作以公布國指定作為管轄權國家？ ====

選擇CC0授權方式的宣告者將有權利以著作的提供國作為管轄權國家，若由宣告者提供，則該資訊將包含在CC0文字中並標注在著作上與機器可讀碼中。

以著作的提供國作為管轄權國家，將有助於使用者瞭解他們對該著作可做或可不做什麼，以及宣告者拋棄的權利為何、使用者擁有何種權利（另外如使用者的所在地），但最重要的是幫助使用者善加利用CC0著作。

仍須注意的是，宣告者所選擇的國家並非因為準據法條款或是管轄法院條款的約定，此外，切記不要過度信賴您作為CC0著作之使用者所可能擁有的權利，在使用釋出到公共領域的CC0著作前應該多加考慮，例如不論宣告者是否指定公布國為管轄國，為了多瞭解該著作，您應該盡量聯繫到宣告者或是諮詢您的法律顧問。

==== 若要使用CC0著作，我需要取得何種權利？====

視情況而定。若您想要使用宣告者的商標就必須先取得宣告者的同意，因為CC0並不會影響商標權。此外，若在照片或其他著作中使用到他人的肖像或形象而涉及該他人之隱私權或是形象權，則亦須取得該他人之同意。

==== 我如何確定我擁有使用CC0著作所需要取得的權利？ ====

就如同我們的授權，CC0包含擔保責任的免責聲明，因此無法保證宣告者（即採用CC0於著作的人）擁有所有准許使用CC0著作的必要權利。適用CC0於著作上的人亦不保證其是否具有著作權、以第三人著作為基礎或是混合第三人著作之著作已取得第三人之使用同意。若您仍有相關疑問，我們強烈建議您先不要使用該著作，除非您已進行完所有步驟以及您認為應該做的防範措施，如先連絡適用CC0於著作的人以及諮詢法律顧問。

我們建議您使用CC0前先熟悉自己的資訊。下列資訊不夠詳盡可能無
法解決您的重要問題，敬請見諒。

__TOC__

常見的問題集意在補充資訊而非取代現有的問題集，您亦可在使用
CC0前先行參考我們所提供的考量要點或是其他的法律工具與授權條款，
並且應該仔細閱讀CC0的法律規定，並在適用到您的著作前或是使用
CC0的著作前理解清楚。
請注意：創用CC（Creative Commons）並非提供法律意見，下列資
訊也不是取代法律建議，內容也可能不夠詳盡，如果還有其他問題或是對
下列資訊、CC0、創用CC（Creative Commons）之授權條款與工具感到
疑慮，請諮詢您的法律顧問！

=== 關於CC0的一般問題 ===

==== 什麼是CC0？ ====

不論作者或是創作者是否想要著作權，著作權法與世界上其他法律都
自動將著作權的保護擴展到作者的著作以及資料庫，而CC0給那些想拋棄
著作權的人一個管道，並在符合法律規定下擴展該拋棄範圍，一旦創作者
或是後來著作的權利人都採用CC0到他們的著作上，在著作權法上他們就
已經不再擁有著作權了。在符合法律規定與其他人可能對該著作擁有的權
利或是該著作使用的方式下，任何人皆可以任何方式、目的使用（包含商
業上使用）該著作，故CC0就是一種「無保留權」的選擇。

==== 如何運作？ ====

使用CC0的人（法律稱之為宣告者）透過拋棄其所擁有的著作權、鄰
接權及該著作的相關權利等，於符合法律規定下的最大範圍將著作釋出到
公共領域中。若該拋棄因任何理由顯示為無效，則CC0就如同宣告者的授
權，准許公眾無條件的、不可撤銷的、非專屬的以及無須支付權利金即可
以任何目的使用該著作。

==== CC0與公共領域標誌(Public Domain Mark, PDM)之差異？====

CC0與公共領域標誌兩者大不相同並具有特別目的，CC0僅有作者或是
著作權及其相關權利或是鄰接權（包含特別的資料庫保護權）之所有權人
能使用，且該著作仍受限於一國或是多國中的上述權利；而公共領域標誌
則是開放供任何人使用，並意圖使用於已免於全世界現有著作權限制的著
作。

該著作的著作權狀態，也就是有效地拋棄全球所有的著作權及其相關之法
律或是鄰接權，然公共領域標誌並非合法執行—它就如同一個標籤，標示
該著作免於現有已知的著作權限制。

=== 關於適用CC0到著作上的相關問題 ===

==== 誰可以使用CC0？ ====

任何一位擁有著作之著作權、鄰接權及其相關權利（如資料庫權）皆
可使用CC0以拋棄上述權利。但請特別注意，CC0就像一條單行道，一旦
您適用CC0於著作即無法改變心意進而再次主張著作權或是資料庫權。在
部份案例中，很難決定某個物品是否具備取得著作權保護之資格（例如資
料庫中的大部份事實資訊），儘管如此，CC0仍是一個向他人保證您已拋
棄任何可能的著作權保護的好方法。雖然您在CC0下並未作過任何關於著
作權人的擔保，但仍須注意當您散布該著作的同時，亦對任一就該著作具
現有權利的第三人負有責任。例如您的著作包含另一依照創用CC姓名標
示授權條款授權之他人著作時，您就必須分開確認那些著作，並將該著作
歸屬於作者並提供授權。又如果是其他授權，亦必須確保您在散布著作前
已遵照授權規定。當然，如果您未取得散布他人著作的許可，即需在使用
CC0前適當取得著作權人的同意。

==== 如何適用CC0到我的著作？ ====

我們的[http://creativecommons.org/choose/zero/ chooser]將會帶領您走過整個流程，當完成時會給您一個
HTML碼，讓您可以複製並貼到您的網站上。請注意，您（即宣告者）自己
可以選擇是否透過張貼在您的網站或是其他地方而公布使用CC0的著作，
但創用CC並不會公布任何著作也不會承擔這個責任。

====選擇CC0者需要的資訊所帶來之利益為何？====

任何您使用Chooser所提供的資訊將被包含在著作上的CC0文字以及機
器可讀碼(machine-readable code)中。潛在的著作使用者可進而使用該資
訊以找到更多關於您著作的訊息，對潛在的使用者而言有價值的地方應該
是您在CC0下提供著作的國家，而我們鼓勵你們不論何時皆可盡量提供資
訊，同時也請留意您選擇的國家並非準據法或是管轄法院條款裡指定的國
家（在CC0中並沒有準據法以及管轄法院條款的概念）。

====可否適用CC0至電腦軟體？如果可以的話建議該如何使用？====

是的，CC0是個適合將電腦軟體中的著作權及其相關權利釋出到公共領域的方法，而且是符合法律規定下最大的範圍。 [[Frequently_Asked_Questions#Can_I_use_a_Creative_Commons_license_for_software.3F|不像CC授權並不適用於軟體]]，CC0與許多軟體授權條款相容
[http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#CC0 包含大眾授權條款(General Public License, GPL)]. 然而，CC0並未經過 [http://opensource.org/ 自由軟體(Open Source Initiative)] 的批准，也不會授權或是影響您可能擁有的專利權。您可能開始考慮使用經OSI准許的授權以取代CC0，例如 [http://opensource.org/licenses/GPL-3.0 大眾授權條款3.0] or [http://opensource.org/licenses/Apache-2.0 或是Apache 2.0].

創用與自由軟體基金會(Free Software Foundation)建議若於軟體上使用CC0，您與下列的注意事項將會標在每個檔案的上頭：

:<程式名稱>-<說明>

: <年><作者名字><作者的電子郵件信箱>

:[其他作者／貢獻人將適當劃線表列]

:在法律可能的範圍內，作者（們）曾將此軟體的著作權及其相關權利與鄰接權釋出到世界上的公共領域，且此軟體之散布不含任何擔保責任。

:您應該會連同軟體取得一份CC0的公共領域奉獻宣告複本，若沒有則請見： <http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/>.

同時建議您將檔案命名為COPYING（或是COPYING.txt）並包含[http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/legalcode.txt CC0的法律碼]。

==== 若他人使用我的著作，CC0是否要求該他人標示我的姓名？ ====

不需要，因為這就是CC0與我們授權的最大不同之處，不同於授權，CC0中並未含有任何條件，就如同任何進入到公共領域的東西，使其他人在使用、採用CC0時不需要標示姓名，但這並不代表您不可依公眾社會或是專業規範與標準要求此姓名標示。

當您決定使用CC0，姓名標示的要求並不受法律要件拘束（例如當作著作權授權的條件），但可依據倫理道德、專業規範請求，好比那些申請獎學金與科學的人。這些規範可以非常清楚、廣泛地、自我鞭策，就如同在學術社團中引用的標準（以倫理道德與專業聲譽為基礎，而非法律條件）。但在部份案例中，確實履行這些新技術或是出現的紀律規範是需要進一步建立共識與連結。

==== CC0是否在任何地方皆排除著作權及其相關權利？ ====

請不要將CC0中的0作文義解釋，因為沒有任何一種法律文書可以排除每個國家著作中的著作權利益。

CC0並不會影響著作權及其相關權利的兩種重要種類：第一，就如同我們的授權，CC0並不會影響著作上他人的權利或是其使用方式，如影像權或是隱私權；第二，有些國家的法律不允許作者或是著作權人拋棄他們所擁有的權利，如著作人格權。當拋棄因為任一理由而無法生效，CC0就好比自由的公開授權，儘管有時該授權並非有效且隨著各國的規定不同而異，但仍具備許多跟拋棄類似的效果。

當我們無法確定所有的著作權及其相關權利在何處被拋棄，但我們相信CC0將於法律允許的最大範圍內阻斷你與你的著作之間的法律關係。

==== 當我使用CC0時拋棄何種權利？ ====

您拋棄了您著作中的著作權、鄰接權及其相關權利，包含您可能擁有的任何資料庫權，同時也拋棄了自己所擁有的影像權或是隱私權，也就是說若著作中含有您的影像，您就無法主張他人因為使用該著作而違反上述權利。在其他國家中，您可能無法拋棄所有的著作權、鄰接權及其相關權利，例如著作人格權與其他未知的權利，當無法拋棄這些權利時即可透過CC0於法律准許範圍內被授權，然而，有時這些權利無法事先授權或是完全無法授權。

==== 何謂鄰接權？ ====

鄰接權包含數種除著作權外法律規定上的權利。表演的藝術家、紀錄製作人與其他電台或是電視廣播通常都是鄰接權的所有權人，其中可能包括散布、表演及／或開發權。部份國家將著作權延伸以保護這些權利，但其他國家則是另以鄰接權或與其相關權利保護。

然而，當您使用CC0而拋棄鄰接權時並不會影響到著作權或其他相關權利，意即當您對您擁有著作權的聲音紀錄採用CC0，您只是拋棄以數位形式播放該錄音的專屬權利，但您使用CC0並不會影響到該音樂作曲家所擁有的著作權。又，鄰接權也會因為各國規定而有所不同。

==== 何謂資料庫權？ ====

資料庫權包含那些未受著作權法保護的資訊。有些國家的著作權法有包含資料庫的設計與架構，但有些如歐盟中的國家在著作權法未保護資料庫時會特別立法保護，資料庫權不論以著作權或其他形式皆確實受到法律的保障，由於所有的著作權與資料庫權因為被CC0囊括而成為日後被拋棄的對象。

==== 一旦公布使用CC0的著作後，我可否控制該著作？ ====

並不一定。CC0係為了達到將著作釋出到公共領域的目的，就如同今日公共領域內的所有著作，儘管對方的使用方式會讓你產生厭惡與不悅，但任何人皆可以任何目的使用您的著作。而且該著作的使用者可能從您的著作上得到利益，這些利益可能會分配給您也可能不會。只有商標權才是您得以保留控制權的部分，倘若他人欲使用您的商標並結合您採用CC0所散布的著作時，依照商標法規定他人必須得到您的同意方能使用。

若真的擔心您著作被使用的方式，或是想尋求法律上要求的姓名標示，或是不希望他人藉由您的著作獲取利益，那麼您就應該放棄使用CC0，而改以我們所提供的其他授權代替之。

==== 關於其他智慧財產的相關權利，如商標權、專利權？ ====

CC0清楚說明不會影響到宣告者的商標權與專利權，僅會觸及到著作權及其相關權利與鄰接權、資料庫權。商標權不會被影響的原因是因為採用CC0的創作者在使用他們的商標後就必須保障商品的品質（例如透過避免後續著作的使用者誤導他人以為著作的使用係獲得宣告者的同意）(for example, by preventing a subsequent user of the work from leading others to believe the work in its subsequent use and/or form is associated with or endorsed by the affirmer).。如果您首要擔心的是與您的名字或是與您的計畫相連結的商品品質與完善度，那麼結合CC0的商標可能是您的選擇之一。

專利則具有更大的挑戰性，創用CC的其中一個目標就是鼓勵他人在著作上使用與散布，而不希望見到令人感到驚訝或是不被期待的方式，但我們只能以著作權的方式來達到上述目的，而不透過較複雜的專利權。我們希望盡可能的讓CC0維持簡單的操作方式，維持它原先設計的理念。因此我們可以說包含拋棄專利的優點比內容物的不利還重要。We concluded that any perceived benefits of including a patent waiver were significantly outweighed by the downsides of its inclusion.

=== 他人欲使用CC0著作的相關問題 ===

==== 是否任何人皆可使用經CC0散布的著作？ ====

可以。一旦採用CC0後， CC0並不會限制何人使用CC0著作，以及任何人在該著作上的其他權利、使用方法的範圍、其他法律規定或是使用限制的範為內皆可以任何方法與目的（含商業上目的）使用之。

==== 當他人在其著作上採用CC0，我是否需要標示該人姓名？ ====

不需要。並未有法律規定您必須標示姓名，只有當有此要求時您才需要主動行使。若宣告者有提供相關資訊，CC0證書所提供的HTML碼可讓您用以複製並貼在您的網站上以簡單註明作者與其著作。

==== 為何有些著作以公布國指定作為管轄權國家？ ====

選擇CC0授權方式的宣告者將有權利以著作的提供國作為管轄權國家，若由宣告者提供，則該資訊將包含在CC0文字中並標注在著作上與機器可讀碼中。

以著作的提供國作為管轄權國家，將有助於使用者瞭解他們對該著作可做或可不做什麼，以及宣告者拋棄的權利為何、使用者擁有何種權利（另外如使用者的所在地），但最重要的是幫助使用者善加利用CC0著作。

仍須注意的是，宣告者所選擇的國家並非因為準據法條款或是管轄法院條款的約定，此外，切記不要過度信賴您作為CC0著作之使用者所可能擁有的權利，在使用釋出到公共領域的CC0著作前應該多加考慮，例如不論宣告者是否指定公布國為管轄國，為了多瞭解該著作，您應該盡量聯繫到宣告者或是諮詢您的法律顧問。

==== 若要使用CC0著作，我需要取得何種權利？====

視情況而定。若您想要使用宣告者的商標就必須先取得宣告者的同意，因為CC0並不會影響商標權。此外，若在照片或其他著作中使用到他人的肖像或形象而涉及該他人之隱私權或是形象權，則亦須取得該他人之同意。

==== 我如何確定我擁有使用CC0著作所需要取得的權利？ ====

就如同我們的授權，CC0包含擔保責任的免責聲明，因此無法保證宣告者（即採用CC0於著作的人）擁有所有准許使用CC0著作的必要權利。適用CC0於著作上的人亦不保證其是否具有著作權、以第三人著作為基礎或是混合第三人著作之著作已取得第三人之使用同意。若您仍有相關疑問，我們強烈建議您先不要使用該著作，除非您已進行完所有步驟以及您認為應該做的防範措施，如先連絡適用CC0於著作的人以及諮詢法律顧問。

__TOC__

常見的問題集意在補充資訊而非取代現有的問題集，您亦可在使用
CC0前先行參考我們所提供的考量要點或是其他的法律工具與授權條款，
並且應該仔細閱讀CC0的法律規定，並在適用到您的著作前或是使用
CC0的著作前理解清楚。
請注意：創用CC（Creative Commons）並非提供法律意見，下列資
訊也不是取代法律建議，內容也可能不夠詳盡，如果還有其他問題或是對
下列資訊、CC0、創用CC（Creative Commons）之授權條款與工具感到
疑慮，請諮詢您的法律顧問！

=== 關於CC0的一般問題 ===

==== 什麼是CC0？ ====

不論作者或是創作者是否想要著作權，著作權法與世界上其他法律都
自動將著作權的保護擴展到作者的著作以及資料庫，而CC0給那些想拋棄
著作權的人一個管道，並在符合法律規定下擴展該拋棄範圍，一旦創作者
或是後來著作的權利人都採用CC0到他們的著作上，在著作權法上他們就
已經不再擁有著作權了。在符合法律規定與其他人可能對該著作擁有的權
利或是該著作使用的方式下，任何人皆可以任何方式、目的使用（包含商
業上使用）該著作，故CC0就是一種「無保留權」的選擇。

==== 如何運作？ ====

使用CC0的人（法律稱之為宣告者）透過拋棄其所擁有的著作權、鄰
接權及該著作的相關權利等，於符合法律規定下的最大範圍將著作釋出到
公共領域中。若該拋棄因任何理由顯示為無效，則CC0就如同宣告者的授
權，准許公眾無條件的、不可撤銷的、非專屬的以及無須支付權利金即可
以任何目的使用該著作。

==== CC0與公共領域標誌(Public Domain Mark, PDM)之差異？====

CC0與公共領域標誌兩者大不相同並具有特別目的，CC0僅有作者或是
著作權及其相關權利或是鄰接權（包含特別的資料庫保護權）之所有權人
能使用，且該著作仍受限於一國或是多國中的上述權利；而公共領域標誌
則是開放供任何人使用，並意圖使用於已免於全世界現有著作權限制的著
作。
工具也會隨著適用到著作所生之結果而異，CC0在法律面來說即改變
該著作的著作權狀態，也就是有效地拋棄全球所有的著作權及其相關之法
律或是鄰接權，然公共領域標誌並非合法執行—它就如同一個標籤，標示
該著作免於現有已知的著作權限制。

=== Questions for those thinking about using a CC0’d work ===

==== Can anyone use a work that is distributed under CC0? ====

Yes. CC0 doesn’t restrict who can use a CC0’d work. Once applied, anyone can use the work in any way and for any purpose, including commercial purposes, subject to rights others may have in the work or how it’s used, as well as subject to any other laws or restrictions that may apply.

==== Do I have to attribute the person who applied CC0 to their work? ====

No, there is no legal requirement that you attribute the affirmer, only an expectation that you will voluntarily do so if requested. The CC0 deed provides HTML code that can be copy and pasted into your webpage to easily cite the author and the work, if that information has been provided by the affirmer.

==== Why do some works indicate the jurisdiction from which the work is being published? ====

The CC0 license chooser gives affirmers the opportunity to indicate the jurisdiction from which the work is being offered. If provided by the affirmer, this information is included in the rendered CC0 text that is placed on the work as well as included in the machine-readable code.

The jurisdiction from which the work is being offered is one fact that helps users know what they can and cannot do with a CC0'd work. There are other important facts that impact what rights the affirmer is surrendering and what rights the user has (another, for example, is where the user is located), but the jurisdiction from which the work is offered is one of the more important pieces of information that helps users usefully take advantage of a CC0’d work.

Be careful, though. The jurisdiction, if selected by the affirmer, is not a choice of law or forum selection clause (there are no choice of law or forum selection clauses in CC0). Nor should it be relied upon as definitive for purposes of determining what rights you, as a user of the CC0’d work, may have. It is just one of many facts (if properly selected by the affirmer) that you should take into account before using a work dedicated to the public domain using CC0. Whether or not the affirmer indicated the jurisdiction from which the work was published, you may wish to contact the affirmer to learn more about the work as well as consult your own legal advisor about your rights.

==== What rights do I need to use a CC0’d work? ====

That depends. If you want to use the affirmer’s trademark, you need to get permission first since CC0 doesn’t affect trademark rights. You may also need to get permission from other people who have rights in the work, such as privacy or publicity rights of persons whose likeness or image appear in a photograph or in another work.

==== How can I be sure that I have all the rights I need to use the work? ====

CC0 contains a disclaimer of warranties just like our licenses, so there is no assurance whatsoever that the affirmer (the person who applied CC0 to the work) has all the necessary rights to grant permission to use the CC0’d work. The person applying CC0 to their work is not guaranteeing anything about it, including whether she owns the copyright or has cleared any uses of third-party content that her work may be based on or incorporate. If you are in doubt, then we strongly recommend you not use the work until you have taken all the steps and precautions you feel you need to before doing so, which may include contacting the person who applied CC0 to the work and consulting legal counsel.

=== 關於適用CC0到著作上的相關問題 ===

==== 誰可以使用CC0？ ====

任何一位擁有著作之著作權、鄰接權及其相關權利（如資料庫權）皆
可使用CC0以拋棄上述權利。但請特別注意，CC0就像一條單行道，一旦
您適用CC0於著作即無法改變心意進而再次主張著作權或是資料庫權。在
部份案例中，很難決定某個物品是否具備取得著作權保護之資格（例如資
料庫中的大部份事實資訊），儘管如此，CC0仍是一個向他人保證您已拋
棄任何可能的著作權保護的好方法。雖然您在CC0下並未作過任何關於著
作權人的擔保，但仍須注意當您散布該著作的同時，亦對任一就該著作具
現有權利的第三人負有責任。例如您的著作包含另一依照創用CC姓名標
示授權條款授權之他人著作時，您就必須分開確認那些著作，並將該著作
歸屬於作者並提供授權。又如果是其他授權，亦必須確保您在散布著作前
已遵照授權規定。當然，如果您未取得散布他人著作的許可，即需在使用
CC0前適當取得著作權人的同意。

==== 如何適用CC0到我的著作？ ====

我們的[http://creativecommons.org/choose/zero/ chooser]將會帶領您走過整個流程，當完成時會給您一個
HTML碼，讓您可以複製並貼到您的網站上。請注意，您（即宣告者）自己
可以選擇是否透過張貼在您的網站或是其他地方而公布使用CC0的著作，
但創用CC並不會公布任何著作也不會承擔這個責任。

====選擇CC0者需要的資訊所帶來之利益為何？====

任何您使用Chooser所提供的資訊將被包含在著作上的CC0文字以及機
器可讀碼(machine-readable code)中。潛在的著作使用者可進而使用該資
訊以找到更多關於您著作的訊息，對潛在的使用者而言有價值的地方應該
是您在CC0下提供著作的國家，而我們鼓勵你們不論何時皆可盡量提供資
訊，同時也請留意您選擇的國家並非準據法或是管轄法院條款裡指定的國
家（在CC0中並沒有準據法以及管轄法院條款的概念）。

====可否適用CC0至電腦軟體？如果可以的話建議該如何使用？====

是的，CC0是個適合將電腦軟體中的著作權及其相關權利釋出到公共領域的方法，而且是符合法律規定下最大的範圍。 [[Frequently_Asked_Questions#Can_I_use_a_Creative_Commons_license_for_software.3F|不像CC授權並不適用於軟體]]，CC0與許多軟體授權條款相容
[http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#CC0 包含大眾授權條款(General Public License, GPL)]. 然而，CC0並未經過 [http://opensource.org/ 自由軟體(Open Source Initiative)] 的批准，也不會授權或是影響您可能擁有的專利權。您可能開始考慮使用經OSI准許的授權以取代CC0，例如 [http://opensource.org/licenses/GPL-3.0 大眾授權條款3.0] or [http://opensource.org/licenses/Apache-2.0 或是Apache 2.0].

創用與自由軟體基金會(Free Software Foundation)建議若於軟體上使用CC0，您與下列的注意事項將會標在每個檔案的上頭：

:<程式名稱>-<說明>

: <年><作者名字><作者的電子郵件信箱>

:[其他作者／貢獻人將適當劃線表列]

:在法律可能的範圍內，作者（們）曾將此軟體的著作權及其相關權利與鄰接權釋出到世界上的公共領域，且此軟體之散布不含任何擔保責任。

:您應該會連同軟體取得一份CC0的公共領域奉獻宣告複本，若沒有則請見： <http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/>.

同時建議您將檔案命名為COPYING（或是COPYING.txt）並包含[http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/legalcode.txt CC0的法律碼]。

==== 若他人使用我的著作，CC0是否要求該他人標示我的姓名？ ====

不需要，因為這就是CC0與我們授權的最大不同之處，不同於授權，CC0中並未含有任何條件，就如同任何進入到公共領域的東西，使其他人在使用、採用CC0時不需要標示姓名，但這並不代表您不可依公眾社會或是專業規範與標準要求此姓名標示。

當您決定使用CC0，姓名標示的要求並不受法律要件拘束（例如當作著作權授權的條件），但可依據倫理道德、專業規範請求，好比那些申請獎學金與科學的人。這些規範可以非常清楚、廣泛地、自我鞭策，就如同在學術社團中引用的標準（以倫理道德與專業聲譽為基礎，而非法律條件）。但在部份案例中，確實履行這些新技術或是出現的紀律規範是需要進一步建立共識與連結。

==== CC0是否在任何地方皆排除著作權及其相關權利？ ====

請不要將CC0中的0作文義解釋，因為沒有任何一種法律文書可以排除每個國家著作中的著作權利益。

CC0並不會影響著作權及其相關權利的兩種重要種類：第一，就如同我們的授權，CC0並不會影響著作上他人的權利或是其使用方式，如影像權或是隱私權；第二，有些國家的法律不允許作者或是著作權人拋棄他們所擁有的權利，如著作人格權。當拋棄因為任一理由而無法生效，CC0就好比自由的公開授權，儘管有時該授權並非有效且隨著各國的規定不同而異，但仍具備許多跟拋棄類似的效果。

當我們無法確定所有的著作權及其相關權利在何處被拋棄，但我們相信CC0將於法律允許的最大範圍內阻斷你與你的著作之間的法律關係。

==== 當我使用CC0時拋棄何種權利？ ====

您拋棄了您著作中的著作權、鄰接權及其相關權利，包含您可能擁有的任何資料庫權，同時也拋棄了自己所擁有的影像權或是隱私權，也就是說若著作中含有您的影像，您就無法主張他人因為使用該著作而違反上述權利。在其他國家中，您可能無法拋棄所有的著作權、鄰接權及其相關權利，例如著作人格權與其他未知的權利，當無法拋棄這些權利時即可透過CC0於法律准許範圍內被授權，然而，有時這些權利無法事先授權或是完全無法授權。

==== 何謂鄰接權？ ====

鄰接權包含數種除著作權外法律規定上的權利。表演的藝術家、紀錄製作人與其他電台或是電視廣播通常都是鄰接權的所有權人，其中可能包括散布、表演及／或開發權。部份國家將著作權延伸以保護這些權利，但其他國家則是另以鄰接權或與其相關權利保護。

然而，當您使用CC0而拋棄鄰接權時並不會影響到著作權或其他相關權利，意即當您對您擁有著作權的聲音紀錄採用CC0，您只是拋棄以數位形式播放該錄音的專屬權利，但您使用CC0並不會影響到該音樂作曲家所擁有的著作權。又，鄰接權也會因為各國規定而有所不同。

==== 何謂資料庫權？ ====

資料庫權包含那些未受著作權法保護的資訊。有些國家的著作權法有包含資料庫的設計與架構，但有些如歐盟中的國家在著作權法未保護資料庫時會特別立法保護，資料庫權不論以著作權或其他形式皆確實受到法律的保障，由於所有的著作權與資料庫權因為被CC0囊括而成為日後被拋棄的對象。

==== 一旦公布使用CC0的著作後，我可否控制該著作？ ====

並不一定。CC0係為了達到將著作釋出到公共領域的目的，就如同今日公共領域內的所有著作，儘管對方的使用方式會讓你產生厭惡與不悅，但任何人皆可以任何目的使用您的著作。而且該著作的使用者可能從您的著作上得到利益，這些利益可能會分配給您也可能不會。只有商標權才是您得以保留控制權的部分，倘若他人欲使用您的商標並結合您採用CC0所散布的著作時，依照商標法規定他人必須得到您的同意方能使用。

若真的擔心您著作被使用的方式，或是想尋求法律上要求的姓名標示，或是不希望他人藉由您的著作獲取利益，那麼您就應該放棄使用CC0，而改以我們所提供的其他授權代替之。

==== What about other IP related rights, such as trademark and patent rights? ====

CC0 very clearly states that trademark and patent rights of the affirmer are not affected – CC0’s sole reach is copyright and related and neighboring rights, including database rights. Trademarks rights are not affected because creators who use CC0 should be able to protect the quality of products that are associated with their trademark (for example, by preventing a subsequent user of the work from leading others to believe the work in its subsequent use and/or form is associated with or endorsed by the affirmer). So if your primary concern is to ensure the quality and integrity of products associated with your name or your project, then trademark, combined with CC0, may be an option for you.

Patents are fundamentally more challenging. One of our goals at Creative Commons is to encourage use and dissemination of information in a way that encourages others to build upon it, sometimes in surprising and unexpected ways. We can accomplish that objective through a copyright-only solution, without introducing the complexities associated with patent rights. We also wanted to keep CC0 as simple as possible, consistent with its original design goals. We concluded that any perceived benefits of including a patent waiver were significantly outweighed by the downsides of its inclusion.

=== Questions for those thinking about using a CC0’d work ===

==== Can anyone use a work that is distributed under CC0? ====

Yes. CC0 doesn’t restrict who can use a CC0’d work. Once applied, anyone can use the work in any way and for any purpose, including commercial purposes, subject to rights others may have in the work or how it’s used, as well as subject to any other laws or restrictions that may apply.

==== Do I have to attribute the person who applied CC0 to their work? ====

No, there is no legal requirement that you attribute the affirmer, only an expectation that you will voluntarily do so if requested. The CC0 deed provides HTML code that can be copy and pasted into your webpage to easily cite the author and the work, if that information has been provided by the affirmer.

==== Why do some works indicate the jurisdiction from which the work is being published? ====

The CC0 license chooser gives affirmers the opportunity to indicate the jurisdiction from which the work is being offered. If provided by the affirmer, this information is included in the rendered CC0 text that is placed on the work as well as included in the machine-readable code.

The jurisdiction from which the work is being offered is one fact that helps users know what they can and cannot do with a CC0'd work. There are other important facts that impact what rights the affirmer is surrendering and what rights the user has (another, for example, is where the user is located), but the jurisdiction from which the work is offered is one of the more important pieces of information that helps users usefully take advantage of a CC0’d work.

Be careful, though. The jurisdiction, if selected by the affirmer, is not a choice of law or forum selection clause (there are no choice of law or forum selection clauses in CC0). Nor should it be relied upon as definitive for purposes of determining what rights you, as a user of the CC0’d work, may have. It is just one of many facts (if properly selected by the affirmer) that you should take into account before using a work dedicated to the public domain using CC0. Whether or not the affirmer indicated the jurisdiction from which the work was published, you may wish to contact the affirmer to learn more about the work as well as consult your own legal advisor about your rights.

==== What rights do I need to use a CC0’d work? ====

That depends. If you want to use the affirmer’s trademark, you need to get permission first since CC0 doesn’t affect trademark rights. You may also need to get permission from other people who have rights in the work, such as privacy or publicity rights of persons whose likeness or image appear in a photograph or in another work.

==== How can I be sure that I have all the rights I need to use the work? ====

CC0 contains a disclaimer of warranties just like our licenses, so there is no assurance whatsoever that the affirmer (the person who applied CC0 to the work) has all the necessary rights to grant permission to use the CC0’d work. The person applying CC0 to their work is not guaranteeing anything about it, including whether she owns the copyright or has cleared any uses of third-party content that her work may be based on or incorporate. If you are in doubt, then we strongly recommend you not use the work until you have taken all the steps and precautions you feel you need to before doing so, which may include contacting the person who applied CC0 to the work and consulting legal counsel.

法解決您的重要問題，敬請見諒。

__TOC__

常見的問題集意在補充資訊而非取代現有的問題集，您亦可在使用
CC0前先行參考我們所提供的考量要點或是其他的法律工具與授權條款，
並且應該仔細閱讀CC0的法律規定，並在適用到您的著作前或是使用
CC0的著作前理解清楚。
請注意：創用CC（Creative Commons）並非提供法律意見，下列資
訊也不是取代法律建議，內容也可能不夠詳盡，如果還有其他問題或是對
下列資訊、CC0、創用CC（Creative Commons）之授權條款與工具感到
疑慮，請諮詢您的法律顧問！

=== 關於CC0的一般問題 ===

==== 什麼是CC0？ ====

不論作者或是創作者是否想要著作權，著作權法與世界上其他法律都
自動將著作權的保護擴展到作者的著作以及資料庫，而CC0給那些想拋棄
著作權的人一個管道，並在符合法律規定下擴展該拋棄範圍，一旦創作者
或是後來著作的權利人都採用CC0到他們的著作上，在著作權法上他們就
已經不再擁有著作權了。在符合法律規定與其他人可能對該著作擁有的權
利或是該著作使用的方式下，任何人皆可以任何方式、目的使用（包含商
業上使用）該著作，故CC0就是一種「無保留權」的選擇。

==== 如何運作？ ====

使用CC0的人（法律稱之為宣告者）透過拋棄其所擁有的著作權、鄰
接權及該著作的相關權利等，於符合法律規定下的最大範圍將著作釋出到
公共領域中。若該拋棄因任何理由顯示為無效，則CC0就如同宣告者的授
權，准許公眾無條件的、不可撤銷的、非專屬的以及無須支付權利金即可
以任何目的使用該著作。

==== CC0與公共領域標誌(Public Domain Mark, PDM)之差異？====

CC0與公共領域標誌兩者大不相同並具有特別目的，CC0僅有作者或是
著作權及其相關權利或是鄰接權（包含特別的資料庫保護權）之所有權人
能使用，且該著作仍受限於一國或是多國中的上述權利；而公共領域標誌
則是開放供任何人使用，並意圖使用於已免於全世界現有著作權限制的著
作。
工具也會隨著適用到著作所生之結果而異，CC0在法律面來說即改變
該著作的著作權狀態，也就是有效地拋棄全球所有的著作權及其相關之法
律或是鄰接權，然公共領域標誌並非合法執行—它就如同一個標籤，標示
該著作免於現有已知的著作權限制。

==== Can I control how my work is being used once I publish it using CC0? ====

Not really. CC0 is about achieving the effect of placing works in the public domain. Just like anything already in the public domain today, anybody will be able to use your work for any purpose, even in ways you may find distasteful or objectionable. They can also make money off of your work, and they may give you credit or they may not. One aspect you retain control over, however, is the use of the work by others with your trademarks. CC0 does not surrender any trademark rights you have. If others want to associate your trademark with a work you distribute under CC0, they need to ask your permission first as required by trademark law.

If you are worried about how your work will be used, if you want to legally require attribution, or if you don't want people to make money off of your work, then you should not use CC0 and instead consider using one of our licenses.

==== What about other IP related rights, such as trademark and patent rights? ====

CC0 very clearly states that trademark and patent rights of the affirmer are not affected – CC0’s sole reach is copyright and related and neighboring rights, including database rights. Trademarks rights are not affected because creators who use CC0 should be able to protect the quality of products that are associated with their trademark (for example, by preventing a subsequent user of the work from leading others to believe the work in its subsequent use and/or form is associated with or endorsed by the affirmer).

CC0與公共領域標誌兩者大不相同並具有特別目的，CC0僅有作者或是
著作權及其相關權利或是鄰接權（包含特別的資料庫保護權）之所有權人
能使用，且該著作仍受限於一國或是多國中的上述權利；而公共領域標誌
則是開放供任何人使用，並意圖使用於已免於全世界現有著作權限制的著
作。
工具也會隨著適用到著作所生之結果而異，CC0在法律面來說即改變
該著作的著作權狀態，也就是有效地拋棄全球所有的著作權及其相關之法
律或是鄰接權，然公共領域標誌並非合法執行—它就如同一個標籤，標示
該著作免於現有已知的著作權限制。
請參考CC0與公共領域標誌的特性比較表，並瞭解更多關於公共領域
標誌。

=== 關於適用CC0到著作上的相關問題 ===

==== 誰可以使用CC0？ ====

任何一位擁有著作之著作權、鄰接權及其相關權利（如資料庫權）皆
可使用CC0以拋棄上述權利。但請特別注意，CC0就像一條單行道，一旦
您適用CC0於著作即無法改變心意進而再次主張著作權或是資料庫權。在
部份案例中，很難決定某個物品是否具備取得著作權保護之資格（例如資
料庫中的大部份事實資訊），儘管如此，CC0仍是一個向他人保證您已拋
棄任何可能的著作權保護的好方法。雖然您在CC0下並未作過任何關於著
作權人的擔保，但仍須注意當您散布該著作的同時，亦對任一就該著作具
現有權利的第三人負有責任。例如您的著作包含另一依照創用CC姓名標
示授權條款授權之他人著作時，您就必須分開確認那些著作，並將該著作
歸屬於作者並提供授權。又如果是其他授權，亦必須確保您在散布著作前
已遵照授權規定。當然，如果您未取得散布他人著作的許可，即需在使用
CC0前適當取得著作權人的同意。

==== 如何適用CC0到我的著作？ ====

我們的[http://creativecommons.org/choose/zero/ chooser]將會帶領您走過整個流程，當完成時會給您一個
HTML碼，讓您可以複製並貼到您的網站上。請注意，您（即宣告者）自己
可以選擇是否透過張貼在您的網站或是其他地方而公布使用CC0的著作，
但創用CC並不會公布任何著作也不會承擔這個責任。

====選擇CC0者需要的資訊所帶來之利益為何？====

任何您使用Chooser所提供的資訊將被包含在著作上的CC0文字以及機
器可讀碼(machine-readable code)中。潛在的著作使用者可進而使用該資
訊以找到更多關於您著作的訊息，對潛在的使用者而言有價值的地方應該
是您在CC0下提供著作的國家，而我們鼓勵你們不論何時皆可盡量提供資
訊，同時也請留意您選擇的國家並非準據法或是管轄法院條款裡指定的國
家（在CC0中並沒有準據法以及管轄法院條款的概念）。

====可否適用CC0至電腦軟體？如果可以的話建議該如何使用？====

是的，CC0是個適合將電腦軟體中的著作權及其相關權利釋出到公共領域的方法，而且是符合法律規定下最大的範圍。 [[Frequently_Asked_Questions#Can_I_use_a_Creative_Commons_license_for_software.3F|不像CC授權並不適用於軟體]]，CC0與許多軟體授權條款相容
[http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#CC0 包含大眾授權條款(General Public License, GPL)]. 然而，CC0並未經過 [http://opensource.org/ 自由軟體(Open Source Initiative)] 的批准，也不會授權或是影響您可能擁有的專利權。您可能開始考慮使用經OSI准許的授權以取代CC0，例如 [http://opensource.org/licenses/GPL-3.0 大眾授權條款3.0] or [http://opensource.org/licenses/Apache-2.0 或是Apache 2.0].

創用與自由軟體基金會(Free Software Foundation)建議若於軟體上使用CC0，您與下列的注意事項將會標在每個檔案的上頭：

:<程式名稱>-<說明>

: <年><作者名字><作者的電子郵件信箱>

:[其他作者／貢獻人將適當劃線表列]

:在法律可能的範圍內，作者（們）曾將此軟體的著作權及其相關權利與鄰接權釋出到世界上的公共領域，且此軟體之散布不含任何擔保責任。

:您應該會連同軟體取得一份CC0的公共領域奉獻宣告複本，若沒有則請見： <http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/>.

同時建議您將檔案命名為COPYING（或是COPYING.txt）並包含[http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/legalcode.txt CC0的法律碼]。

==== 若他人使用我的著作，CC0是否要求該他人標示我的姓名？ ====

不需要，因為這就是CC0與我們授權的最大不同之處，不同於授權，CC0中並未含有任何條件，就如同任何進入到公共領域的東西，使其他人在使用、採用CC0時不需要標示姓名，但這並不代表您不可依公眾社會或是專業規範與標準要求此姓名標示。

當您決定使用CC0，姓名標示的要求並不受法律要件拘束（例如當作著作權授權的條件），但可依據倫理道德、專業規範請求，好比那些申請獎學金與科學的人。這些規範可以非常清楚、廣泛地、自我鞭策，就如同在學術社團中引用的標準（以倫理道德與專業聲譽為基礎，而非法律條件）。但在部份案例中，確實履行這些新技術或是出現的紀律規範是需要進一步建立共識與連結。

==== CC0是否在任何地方皆排除著作權及其相關權利？ ====

請不要將CC0中的0作文義解釋，因為沒有任何一種法律文書可以排除每個國家著作中的著作權利益。

CC0並不會影響著作權及其相關權利的兩種重要種類：第一，就如同我們的授權，CC0並不會影響著作上他人的權利或是其使用方式，如影像權或是隱私權；第二，有些國家的法律不允許作者或是著作權人拋棄他們所擁有的權利，如著作人格權。當拋棄因為任一理由而無法生效，CC0就好比自由的公開授權，儘管有時該授權並非有效且隨著各國的規定不同而異，但仍具備許多跟拋棄類似的效果。

當我們無法確定所有的著作權及其相關權利在何處被拋棄，但我們相信CC0將於法律允許的最大範圍內阻斷你與你的著作之間的法律關係。

==== 當我使用CC0時拋棄何種權利？ ====

您拋棄了您著作中的著作權、鄰接權及其相關權利，包含您可能擁有的任何資料庫權，同時也拋棄了自己所擁有的影像權或是隱私權，也就是說若著作中含有您的影像，您就無法主張他人因為使用該著作而違反上述權利。在其他國家中，您可能無法拋棄所有的著作權、鄰接權及其相關權利，例如著作人格權與其他未知的權利，當無法拋棄這些權利時即可透過CC0於法律准許範圍內被授權，然而，有時這些權利無法事先授權或是完全無法授權。

==== 何謂鄰接權？ ====

鄰接權包含數種除著作權外法律規定上的權利。表演的藝術家、紀錄製作人與其他電台或是電視廣播通常都是鄰接權的所有權人，其中可能包括散布、表演及／或開發權。部份國家將著作權延伸以保護這些權利，但其他國家則是另以鄰接權或與其相關權利保護。

然而，當您使用CC0而拋棄鄰接權時並不會影響到著作權或其他相關權利，意即當您對您擁有著作權的聲音紀錄採用CC0，您只是拋棄以數位形式播放該錄音的專屬權利，但您使用CC0並不會影響到該音樂作曲家所擁有的著作權。又，鄰接權也會因為各國規定而有所不同。

==== What are database rights? ====

Databases may contain facts that, in and of themselves, are not protected by copyright law. The copyright laws of some jurisdictions cover database design and structure, however, and some jurisdictions like the European Union have enacted special laws to protect databases when they are not protected under applicable copyright law. CC0 is intended to cover all copyright and database laws, so that however database rights are protected (under copyright or otherwise), those rights are all surrendered.

==== Can I control how my work is being used once I publish it using CC0? ====

Not really. CC0 is about achieving the effect of placing works in the public domain. Just like anything already in the public domain today, anybody will be able to use your work for any purpose, even in ways you may find distasteful or objectionable. They can also make money off of your work, and they may give you credit or they may not. One aspect you retain control over, however, is the use of the work by others with your trademarks. CC0 does not surrender any trademark rights you have. If others want to associate your trademark with a work you distribute under CC0, they need to ask your permission first as required by trademark law.

If you are worried about how your work will be used, if you want to legally require attribution, or if you don't want people to make money off of your work, then you should not use CC0 and instead consider using one of our licenses.

==== What about other IP related rights, such as trademark and patent rights? ====

CC0 very clearly states that trademark and patent rights of the affirmer are not affected – CC0’s sole reach is copyright and related and neighboring rights, including database rights. Trademarks rights are not affected because creators who use CC0 should be able to protect the quality of products that are associated with their trademark (for example, by preventing a subsequent user of the work from leading others to believe the work in its subsequent use and/or form is associated with or endorsed by the affirmer). So if your primary concern is to ensure the quality and integrity of products associated with your name or your project, then trademark, combined with CC0, may be an option for you.

Patents are fundamentally more challenging. One of our goals at Creative Commons is to encourage use and dissemination of information in a way that encourages others to build upon it, sometimes in surprising and unexpected ways. We can accomplish that objective through a copyright-only solution, without introducing the complexities associated with patent rights. We also wanted to keep CC0 as simple as possible, consistent with its original design goals. We concluded that any perceived benefits of including a patent waiver were significantly outweighed by the downsides of its inclusion.

=== Questions for those thinking about using a CC0’d work ===

==== Can anyone use a work that is distributed under CC0? ====

Yes. CC0 doesn’t restrict who can use a CC0’d work. Once applied, anyone can use the work in any way and for any purpose, including commercial purposes, subject to rights others may have in the work or how it’s used, as well as subject to any other laws or restrictions that may apply.

==== Do I have to attribute the person who applied CC0 to their work? ====

No, there is no legal requirement that you attribute the affirmer, only an expectation that you will voluntarily do so if requested. The CC0 deed provides HTML code that can be copy and pasted into your webpage to easily cite the author and the work, if that information has been provided by the affirmer.

==== Why do some works indicate the jurisdiction from which the work is being published? ====

The CC0 license chooser gives affirmers the opportunity to indicate the jurisdiction from which the work is being offered. If provided by the affirmer, this information is included in the rendered CC0 text that is placed on the work as well as included in the machine-readable code.

The jurisdiction from which the work is being offered is one fact that helps users know what they can and cannot do with a CC0'd work. There are other important facts that impact what rights the affirmer is surrendering and what rights the user has (another, for example, is where the user is located), but the jurisdiction from which the work is offered is one of the more important pieces of information that helps users usefully take advantage of a CC0’d work.

Be careful, though. The jurisdiction, if selected by the affirmer, is not a choice of law or forum selection clause (there are no choice of law or forum selection clauses in CC0). Nor should it be relied upon as definitive for purposes of determining what rights you, as a user of the CC0’d work, may have. It is just one of many facts (if properly selected by the affirmer) that you should take into account before using a work dedicated to the public domain using CC0. Whether or not the affirmer indicated the jurisdiction from which the work was published, you may wish to contact the affirmer to learn more about the work as well as consult your own legal advisor about your rights.

==== What rights do I need to use a CC0’d work? ====

That depends. If you want to use the affirmer’s trademark, you need to get permission first since CC0 doesn’t affect trademark rights. You may also need to get permission from other people who have rights in the work, such as privacy or publicity rights of persons whose likeness or image appear in a photograph or in another work.

==== How can I be sure that I have all the rights I need to use the work? ====

CC0 contains a disclaimer of warranties just like our licenses, so there is no assurance whatsoever that the affirmer (the person who applied CC0 to the work) has all the necessary rights to grant permission to use the CC0’d work. The person applying CC0 to their work is not guaranteeing anything about it, including whether she owns the copyright or has cleared any uses of third-party content that her work may be based on or incorporate. If you are in doubt, then we strongly recommend you not use the work until you have taken all the steps and precautions you feel you need to before doing so, which may include contacting the person who applied CC0 to the work and consulting legal counsel.

我們建議您使用CC0前先熟悉自己的資訊。下列資訊不夠詳盡可能無

__TOC__

常見的問題集意在補充資訊而非取代現有的問題集，您亦可在使用
CC0前先行參考我們所提供的考量要點或是其他的法律工具與授權條款，
並且應該仔細閱讀CC0的法律規定，並在適用到您的著作前或是使用
CC0的著作前理解清楚。
請注意：創用CC（Creative Commons）並非提供法律意見，下列資
訊也不是取代法律建議，內容也可能不夠詳盡，如果還有其他問題或是對
下列資訊、CC0、創用CC（Creative Commons）之授權條款與工具感到
疑慮，請諮詢您的法律顧問！

=== 關於CC0的一般問題 ===

==== 什麼是CC0？ ====

不論作者或是創作者是否想要著作權，著作權法與世界上其他法律都
自動將著作權的保護擴展到作者的著作以及資料庫，而CC0給那些想拋棄
著作權的人一個管道，並在符合法律規定下擴展該拋棄範圍，一旦創作者
或是後來著作的權利人都採用CC0到他們的著作上，在著作權法上他們就
已經不再擁有著作權了。在符合法律規定與其他人可能對該著作擁有的權
利或是該著作使用的方式下，任何人皆可以任何方式、目的使用（包含商
業上使用）該著作，故CC0就是一種「無保留權」的選擇。

==== 如何運作？ ====

使用CC0的人（法律稱之為宣告者）透過拋棄其所擁有的著作權、鄰
接權及該著作的相關權利等，於符合法律規定下的最大範圍將著作釋出到
公共領域中。若該拋棄因任何理由顯示為無效，則CC0就如同宣告者的授
權，准許公眾無條件的、不可撤銷的、非專屬的以及無須支付權利金即可
以任何目的使用該著作。

==== CC0與公共領域標誌(Public Domain Mark, PDM)之差異？====

CC0與公共領域標誌兩者大不相同並具有特別目的，CC0僅有作者或是
著作權及其相關權利或是鄰接權（包含特別的資料庫保護權）之所有權人
能使用，且該著作仍受限於一國或是多國中的上述權利；而公共領域標誌
則是開放供任何人使用，並意圖使用於已免於全世界現有著作權限制的著
作。

該著作的著作權狀態，也就是有效地拋棄全球所有的著作權及其相關之法
律或是鄰接權，然公共領域標誌並非合法執行—它就如同一個標籤，標示
該著作免於現有已知的著作權限制。

==== What are neighboring rights? ====

Neighboring rights consist of a hodgepodge of rights granted by statute in addition to traditional copyright. Performing artists, record producers and those involved in radio and television broadcasting are often holders of neighboring rights, which may include distribution, performance and/or exploitation rights. Some jurisdictions extend copyright to protect these rights; other jurisdictions offer those protections by separate statute as neighboring or related rights.

When you surrender your neighboring rights using CC0, you do not impact the copyrights or related rights of others, though. For example, if you apply CC0 to a sound recording to which you hold copyright, you surrender your exclusive right to digitally perform that sound recording. But your use of CC0 would not affect the copyright, if any, retained by the composer of the music. Neighboring rights differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.

==== What are database rights? ====

Databases may contain facts that, in and of themselves, are not protected by copyright law. The copyright laws of some jurisdictions cover database design and structure, however, and some jurisdictions like the European Union have enacted special laws to protect databases when they are not protected under applicable copyright law. CC0 is intended to cover all copyright and database laws, so that however database rights are protected (under copyright or otherwise), those rights are all surrendered.

權，准許公眾無條件的、不可撤銷的、非專屬的以及無須支付權利金即可
以任何目的使用該著作。

==== CC0與公共領域標誌(Public Domain Mark, PDM)之差異？====

CC0與公共領域標誌兩者大不相同並具有特別目的，CC0僅有作者或是
著作權及其相關權利或是鄰接權（包含特別的資料庫保護權）之所有權人
能使用，且該著作仍受限於一國或是多國中的上述權利；而公共領域標誌
則是開放供任何人使用，並意圖使用於已免於全世界現有著作權限制的著
作。
工具也會隨著適用到著作所生之結果而異，CC0在法律面來說即改變
該著作的著作權狀態，也就是有效地拋棄全球所有的著作權及其相關之法
律或是鄰接權，然公共領域標誌並非合法執行—它就如同一個標籤，標示
該著作免於現有已知的著作權限制。

標誌。

=== 關於適用CC0到著作上的相關問題 ===

==== 誰可以使用CC0？ ====

任何一位擁有著作之著作權、鄰接權及其相關權利（如資料庫權）皆
可使用CC0以拋棄上述權利。但請特別注意，CC0就像一條單行道，一旦
您適用CC0於著作即無法改變心意進而再次主張著作權或是資料庫權。在
部份案例中，很難決定某個物品是否具備取得著作權保護之資格（例如資
料庫中的大部份事實資訊），儘管如此，CC0仍是一個向他人保證您已拋
棄任何可能的著作權保護的好方法。雖然您在CC0下並未作過任何關於著
作權人的擔保，但仍須注意當您散布該著作的同時，亦對任一就該著作具
現有權利的第三人負有責任。例如您的著作包含另一依照創用CC姓名標
示授權條款授權之他人著作時，您就必須分開確認那些著作，並將該著作
歸屬於作者並提供授權。又如果是其他授權，亦必須確保您在散布著作前
已遵照授權規定。當然，如果您未取得散布他人著作的許可，即需在使用
CC0前適當取得著作權人的同意。

==== 如何適用CC0到我的著作？ ====

我們的[http://creativecommons.org/choose/zero/ chooser]將會帶領您走過整個流程，當完成時會給您一個
HTML碼，讓您可以複製並貼到您的網站上。請注意，您（即宣告者）自己
可以選擇是否透過張貼在您的網站或是其他地方而公布使用CC0的著作，
但創用CC並不會公布任何著作也不會承擔這個責任。

====選擇CC0者需要的資訊所帶來之利益為何？====

任何您使用Chooser所提供的資訊將被包含在著作上的CC0文字以及機
器可讀碼(machine-readable code)中。潛在的著作使用者可進而使用該資
訊以找到更多關於您著作的訊息，對潛在的使用者而言有價值的地方應該
是您在CC0下提供著作的國家，而我們鼓勵你們不論何時皆可盡量提供資
訊，同時也請留意您選擇的國家並非準據法或是管轄法院條款裡指定的國
家（在CC0中並沒有準據法以及管轄法院條款的概念）。

====可否適用CC0至電腦軟體？如果可以的話建議該如何使用？====

是的，CC0是個適合將電腦軟體中的著作權及其相關權利釋出到公共領域的方法，而且是符合法律規定下最大的範圍。 [[Frequently_Asked_Questions#Can_I_use_a_Creative_Commons_license_for_software.3F|不像CC授權並不適用於軟體]]，CC0與許多軟體授權條款相容
[http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#CC0 包含大眾授權條款(General Public License, GPL)]. 然而，CC0並未經過 [http://opensource.org/ 自由軟體(Open Source Initiative)] 的批准，也不會授權或是影響您可能擁有的專利權。您可能開始考慮使用經OSI准許的授權以取代CC0，例如 [http://opensource.org/licenses/GPL-3.0 大眾授權條款3.0] or [http://opensource.org/licenses/Apache-2.0 或是Apache 2.0].

創用與自由軟體基金會(Free Software Foundation)建議若於軟體上使用CC0，您與下列的注意事項將會標在每個檔案的上頭：

:<程式名稱>-<說明>

: <年><作者名字><作者的電子郵件信箱>

:[其他作者／貢獻人將適當劃線表列]

:在法律可能的範圍內，作者（們）曾將此軟體的著作權及其相關權利與鄰接權釋出到世界上的公共領域，且此軟體之散布不含任何擔保責任。

:您應該會連同軟體取得一份CC0的公共領域奉獻宣告複本，若沒有則請見： <http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/>.

同時建議您將檔案命名為COPYING（或是COPYING.txt）並包含[http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/legalcode.txt CC0的法律碼]。

==== 若他人使用我的著作，CC0是否要求該他人標示我的姓名？ ====

不需要，因為這就是CC0與我們授權的最大不同之處，不同於授權，CC0中並未含有任何條件，就如同任何進入到公共領域的東西，使其他人在使用、採用CC0時不需要標示姓名，但這並不代表您不可依公眾社會或是專業規範與標準要求此姓名標示。

當您決定使用CC0，姓名標示的要求並不受法律要件拘束（例如當作著作權授權的條件），但可依據倫理道德、專業規範請求，好比那些申請獎學金與科學的人。這些規範可以非常清楚、廣泛地、自我鞭策，就如同在學術社團中引用的標準（以倫理道德與專業聲譽為基礎，而非法律條件）。但在部份案例中，確實履行這些新技術或是出現的紀律規範是需要進一步建立共識與連結。

==== CC0是否在任何地方皆排除著作權及其相關權利？ ====

請不要將CC0中的0作文義解釋，因為沒有任何一種法律文書可以排除每個國家著作中的著作權利益。

CC0並不會影響著作權及其相關權利的兩種重要種類：第一，就如同我們的授權，CC0並不會影響著作上他人的權利或是其使用方式，如影像權或是隱私權；第二，有些國家的法律不允許作者或是著作權人拋棄他們所擁有的權利，如著作人格權。當拋棄因為任一理由而無法生效，CC0就好比自由的公開授權，儘管有時該授權並非有效且隨著各國的規定不同而異，但仍具備許多跟拋棄類似的效果。

當我們無法確定所有的著作權及其相關權利在何處被拋棄，但我們相信CC0將於法律允許的最大範圍內阻斷你與你的著作之間的法律關係。

==== What kinds of rights am I surrendering when I use CC0? ====

You are surrendering your copyright and neighboring and related rights in a work, including any database rights you may have. You are also surrendering your own publicity and privacy rights. If your image is captured in the work, for example, you cannot later complain that someone is using it in violation of those rights. In other jurisdictions, you may not be able to waive all of your copyright and neighboring and related rights. Moral rights and unknown rights are two examples of rights that may be difficult to waive in some jurisdictions. When waiver isn’t possible, those rights are licensed under CC0 to the extent allowed by law, although again, sometimes those rights cannot be licensed in advance or at all.

==== What are neighboring rights? ====

Neighboring rights consist of a hodgepodge of rights granted by statute in addition to traditional copyright. Performing artists, record producers and those involved in radio and television broadcasting are often holders of neighboring rights, which may include distribution, performance and/or exploitation rights. Some jurisdictions extend copyright to protect these rights; other jurisdictions offer those protections by separate statute as neighboring or related rights.

When you surrender your neighboring rights using CC0, you do not impact the copyrights or related rights of others, though. For example, if you apply CC0 to a sound recording to which you hold copyright, you surrender your exclusive right to digitally perform that sound recording. But your use of CC0 would not affect the copyright, if any, retained by the composer of the music. Neighboring rights differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.

==== What are database rights? ====

Databases may contain facts that, in and of themselves, are not protected by copyright law. The copyright laws of some jurisdictions cover database design and structure, however, and some jurisdictions like the European Union have enacted special laws to protect databases when they are not protected under applicable copyright law. CC0 is intended to cover all copyright and database laws, so that however database rights are protected (under copyright or otherwise), those rights are all surrendered.

==== Can I control how my work is being used once I publish it using CC0? ====

Not really. CC0 is about achieving the effect of placing works in the public domain. Just like anything already in the public domain today, anybody will be able to use your work for any purpose, even in ways you may find distasteful or objectionable. They can also make money off of your work, and they may give you credit or they may not. One aspect you retain control over, however, is the use of the work by others with your trademarks. CC0 does not surrender any trademark rights you have. If others want to associate your trademark with a work you distribute under CC0, they need to ask your permission first as required by trademark law.

If you are worried about how your work will be used, if you want to legally require attribution, or if you don't want people to make money off of your work, then you should not use CC0 and instead consider using one of our licenses.

==== What about other IP related rights, such as trademark and patent rights? ====

CC0 very clearly states that trademark and patent rights of the affirmer are not affected – CC0’s sole reach is copyright and related and neighboring rights, including database rights. Trademarks rights are not affected because creators who use CC0 should be able to protect the quality of products that are associated with their trademark (for example, by preventing a subsequent user of the work from leading others to believe the work in its subsequent use and/or form is associated with or endorsed by the affirmer). So if your primary concern is to ensure the quality and integrity of products associated with your name or your project, then trademark, combined with CC0, may be an option for you.

Patents are fundamentally more challenging. One of our goals at Creative Commons is to encourage use and dissemination of information in a way that encourages others to build upon it, sometimes in surprising and unexpected ways. We can accomplish that objective through a copyright-only solution, without introducing the complexities associated with patent rights. We also wanted to keep CC0 as simple as possible, consistent with its original design goals. We concluded that any perceived benefits of including a patent waiver were significantly outweighed by the downsides of its inclusion.

=== Questions for those thinking about using a CC0’d work ===

==== Can anyone use a work that is distributed under CC0? ====

Yes. CC0 doesn’t restrict who can use a CC0’d work. Once applied, anyone can use the work in any way and for any purpose, including commercial purposes, subject to rights others may have in the work or how it’s used, as well as subject to any other laws or restrictions that may apply.

==== Do I have to attribute the person who applied CC0 to their work? ====

No, there is no legal requirement that you attribute the affirmer, only an expectation that you will voluntarily do so if requested. The CC0 deed provides HTML code that can be copy and pasted into your webpage to easily cite the author and the work, if that information has been provided by the affirmer.

==== Why do some works indicate the jurisdiction from which the work is being published? ====

The CC0 license chooser gives affirmers the opportunity to indicate the jurisdiction from which the work is being offered. If provided by the affirmer, this information is included in the rendered CC0 text that is placed on the work as well as included in the machine-readable code.

The jurisdiction from which the work is being offered is one fact that helps users know what they can and cannot do with a CC0'd work. There are other important facts that impact what rights the affirmer is surrendering and what rights the user has (another, for example, is where the user is located), but the jurisdiction from which the work is offered is one of the more important pieces of information that helps users usefully take advantage of a CC0’d work.

Be careful, though. The jurisdiction, if selected by the affirmer, is not a choice of law or forum selection clause (there are no choice of law or forum selection clauses in CC0). Nor should it be relied upon as definitive for purposes of determining what rights you, as a user of the CC0’d work, may have. It is just one of many facts (if properly selected by the affirmer) that you should take into account before using a work dedicated to the public domain using CC0. Whether or not the affirmer indicated the jurisdiction from which the work was published, you may wish to contact the affirmer to learn more about the work as well as consult your own legal advisor about your rights.

==== What rights do I need to use a CC0’d work? ====

That depends. If you want to use the affirmer’s trademark, you need to get permission first since CC0 doesn’t affect trademark rights. You may also need to get permission from other people who have rights in the work, such as privacy or publicity rights of persons whose likeness or image appear in a photograph or in another work.

==== How can I be sure that I have all the rights I need to use the work? ====

CC0 contains a disclaimer of warranties just like our licenses, so there is no assurance whatsoever that the affirmer (the person who applied CC0 to the work) has all the necessary rights to grant permission to use the CC0’d work. The person applying CC0 to their work is not guaranteeing anything about it, including whether she owns the copyright or has cleared any uses of third-party content that her work may be based on or incorporate. If you are in doubt, then we strongly recommend you not use the work until you have taken all the steps and precautions you feel you need to before doing so, which may include contacting the person who applied CC0 to the work and consulting legal counsel.

我們建議您使用CC0前先熟悉自己的資訊。下列資訊不夠詳盡可能無
法解決您的重要問題，敬請見諒。

__TOC__

常見的問題集意在補充資訊而非取代現有的問題集，您亦可在使用
CC0前先行參考我們所提供的考量要點或是其他的法律工具與授權條款，
並且應該仔細閱讀CC0的法律規定，並在適用到您的著作前或是使用
CC0的著作前理解清楚。
請注意：創用CC（Creative Commons）並非提供法律意見，下列資
訊也不是取代法律建議，內容也可能不夠詳盡，如果還有其他問題或是對
下列資訊、CC0、創用CC（Creative Commons）之授權條款與工具感到
疑慮，請諮詢您的法律顧問！

=== 關於CC0的一般問題 ===

==== 什麼是CC0？ ====

不論作者或是創作者是否想要著作權，著作權法與世界上其他法律都
自動將著作權的保護擴展到作者的著作以及資料庫，而CC0給那些想拋棄
著作權的人一個管道，並在符合法律規定下擴展該拋棄範圍，一旦創作者
或是後來著作的權利人都採用CC0到他們的著作上，在著作權法上他們就
已經不再擁有著作權了。在符合法律規定與其他人可能對該著作擁有的權
利或是該著作使用的方式下，任何人皆可以任何方式、目的使用（包含商
業上使用）該著作，故CC0就是一種「無保留權」的選擇。

==== 如何運作？ ====

使用CC0的人（法律稱之為宣告者）透過拋棄其所擁有的著作權、鄰
接權及該著作的相關權利等，於符合法律規定下的最大範圍將著作釋出到
公共領域中。若該拋棄因任何理由顯示為無效，則CC0就如同宣告者的授
權，准許公眾無條件的、不可撤銷的、非專屬的以及無須支付權利金即可
以任何目的使用該著作。

==== CC0與公共領域標誌(Public Domain Mark, PDM)之差異？====

CC0與公共領域標誌兩者大不相同並具有特別目的，CC0僅有作者或是
著作權及其相關權利或是鄰接權（包含特別的資料庫保護權）之所有權人
能使用，且該著作仍受限於一國或是多國中的上述權利；而公共領域標誌
則是開放供任何人使用，並意圖使用於已免於全世界現有著作權限制的著
作。
工具也會隨著適用到著作所生之結果而異，CC0在法律面來說即改變
該著作的著作權狀態，也就是有效地拋棄全球所有的著作權及其相關之法
律或是鄰接權，然公共領域標誌並非合法執行—它就如同一個標籤，標示
該著作免於現有已知的著作權限制。
請參考CC0與公共領域標誌的特性比較表，並瞭解更多關於公共領域
標誌。

==== Does CC0 really eliminate all copyright and related rights, everywhere? ====

Please don’t take the 0 (zero) in the name “CC0” literally – no legal instrument can ever eliminate all copyright interests in a work in every jurisdiction.

CC0 doesn’t affect two very important categories of copyright and related rights. First, just like our licenses, CC0 does not affect '''''other persons’s rights''''' in the work or in how it is used, such as publicity or [[Frequently_Asked_Questions#When_are_publicity_rights_relevant.3F|privacy rights]]. Second, the laws of some jurisdictions don’t allow authors and copyright owners to waive all of their own rights, such as moral rights. When the waiver doesn’t work for any reason CC0 acts as a free public license replicating much of intended effect of the waiver, although sometimes even licensing those rights isn’t effective. It varies jurisdiction by jurisdiction.

While we can't be certain that all copyright and related rights will indeed be surrendered everywhere, we are confident that CC0 lets you sever the legal ties between you and your work to the greatest extent legally permissible.

==== What kinds of rights am I surrendering when I use CC0? ====

You are surrendering your copyright and neighboring and related rights in a work, including any database rights you may have. You are also surrendering your own publicity and privacy rights. If your image is captured in the work, for example, you cannot later complain that someone is using it in violation of those rights. In other jurisdictions, you may not be able to waive all of your copyright and neighboring and related rights. Moral rights and unknown rights are two examples of rights that may be difficult to waive in some jurisdictions.

利或是該著作使用的方式下，任何人皆可以任何方式、目的使用（包含商
業上使用）該著作，故CC0就是一種「無保留權」的選擇。

==== 如何運作？ ====

使用CC0的人（法律稱之為宣告者）透過拋棄其所擁有的著作權、鄰
接權及該著作的相關權利等，於符合法律規定下的最大範圍將著作釋出到
公共領域中。若該拋棄因任何理由顯示為無效，則CC0就如同宣告者的授
權，准許公眾無條件的、不可撤銷的、非專屬的以及無須支付權利金即可
以任何目的使用該著作。

==== CC0與公共領域標誌(Public Domain Mark, PDM)之差異？====

CC0與公共領域標誌兩者大不相同並具有特別目的，CC0僅有作者或是
著作權及其相關權利或是鄰接權（包含特別的資料庫保護權）之所有權人
能使用，且該著作仍受限於一國或是多國中的上述權利；而公共領域標誌
則是開放供任何人使用，並意圖使用於已免於全世界現有著作權限制的著
作。
工具也會隨著適用到著作所生之結果而異，CC0在法律面來說即改變
該著作的著作權狀態，也就是有效地拋棄全球所有的著作權及其相關之法
律或是鄰接權，然公共領域標誌並非合法執行—它就如同一個標籤，標示
該著作免於現有已知的著作權限制。

標誌。

=== 關於適用CC0到著作上的相關問題 ===

==== 誰可以使用CC0？ ====

任何一位擁有著作之著作權、鄰接權及其相關權利（如資料庫權）皆
可使用CC0以拋棄上述權利。但請特別注意，CC0就像一條單行道，一旦
您適用CC0於著作即無法改變心意進而再次主張著作權或是資料庫權。在
部份案例中，很難決定某個物品是否具備取得著作權保護之資格（例如資
料庫中的大部份事實資訊），儘管如此，CC0仍是一個向他人保證您已拋
棄任何可能的著作權保護的好方法。雖然您在CC0下並未作過任何關於著
作權人的擔保，但仍須注意當您散布該著作的同時，亦對任一就該著作具
現有權利的第三人負有責任。例如您的著作包含另一依照創用CC姓名標
示授權條款授權之他人著作時，您就必須分開確認那些著作，並將該著作
歸屬於作者並提供授權。又如果是其他授權，亦必須確保您在散布著作前
已遵照授權規定。當然，如果您未取得散布他人著作的許可，即需在使用
CC0前適當取得著作權人的同意。

==== 如何適用CC0到我的著作？ ====

我們的[http://creativecommons.org/choose/zero/ chooser]將會帶領您走過整個流程，當完成時會給您一個
HTML碼，讓您可以複製並貼到您的網站上。請注意，您（即宣告者）自己
可以選擇是否透過張貼在您的網站或是其他地方而公布使用CC0的著作，
但創用CC並不會公布任何著作也不會承擔這個責任。

====選擇CC0者需要的資訊所帶來之利益為何？====

任何您使用Chooser所提供的資訊將被包含在著作上的CC0文字以及機
器可讀碼(machine-readable code)中。潛在的著作使用者可進而使用該資
訊以找到更多關於您著作的訊息，對潛在的使用者而言有價值的地方應該
是您在CC0下提供著作的國家，而我們鼓勵你們不論何時皆可盡量提供資
訊，同時也請留意您選擇的國家並非準據法或是管轄法院條款裡指定的國
家（在CC0中並沒有準據法以及管轄法院條款的概念）。

====可否適用CC0至電腦軟體？如果可以的話建議該如何使用？====

是的，CC0是個適合將電腦軟體中的著作權及其相關權利釋出到公共領域的方法，而且是符合法律規定下最大的範圍。 [[Frequently_Asked_Questions#Can_I_use_a_Creative_Commons_license_for_software.3F|不像CC授權並不適用於軟體]]，CC0與許多軟體授權條款相容
[http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#CC0 包含大眾授權條款(General Public License, GPL)]. 然而，CC0並未經過 [http://opensource.org/ 自由軟體(Open Source Initiative)] 的批准，也不會授權或是影響您可能擁有的專利權。您可能開始考慮使用經OSI准許的授權以取代CC0，例如 [http://opensource.org/licenses/GPL-3.0 大眾授權條款3.0] or [http://opensource.org/licenses/Apache-2.0 或是Apache 2.0].

創用與自由軟體基金會(Free Software Foundation)建議若於軟體上使用CC0，您與下列的注意事項將會標在每個檔案的上頭：

:<程式名稱>-<說明>

: <年><作者名字><作者的電子郵件信箱>

:[其他作者／貢獻人將適當劃線表列]

:在法律可能的範圍內，作者（們）曾將此軟體的著作權及其相關權利與鄰接權釋出到世界上的公共領域，且此軟體之散布不含任何擔保責任。

:您應該會連同軟體取得一份CC0的公共領域奉獻宣告複本，若沒有則請見： <http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/>.

同時建議您將檔案命名為COPYING（或是COPYING.txt）並包含[http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/legalcode.txt CC0的法律碼]。

==== Does CC0 require others who use my work to give me attribution? ====

No, and that's a big difference between CC0 and our licenses. Unlike our licenses, there are no conditions contained in CC0. Just like anything in the public domain, it will be possible for others to use or adapt it however they wish without attribution. However, this does not mean that you cannot request attribution in accordance with community or professional norms and standards.

When you choose CC0, requests for attribution are not binding through legal requirements (i.e., as a condition of a copyright license) but can be based on ethical and professional norms, such as those that apply to scholarship and science. These norms can be well articulated, widely held, and self-policing, as is the case with citation standards in the academic community (which are based on ethics and professional reputation, not legal conditions). However, in some instances, as with new technologies or emerging disciplines, the exact implementation of these norms in a particular context requires further consensus-building and articulation.

==== Does CC0 really eliminate all copyright and related rights, everywhere? ====

Please don’t take the 0 (zero) in the name “CC0” literally – no legal instrument can ever eliminate all copyright interests in a work in every jurisdiction.

CC0 doesn’t affect two very important categories of copyright and related rights. First, just like our licenses, CC0 does not affect '''''other persons’s rights''''' in the work or in how it is used, such as publicity or [[Frequently_Asked_Questions#When_are_publicity_rights_relevant.3F|privacy rights]]. Second, the laws of some jurisdictions don’t allow authors and copyright owners to waive all of their own rights, such as moral rights. When the waiver doesn’t work for any reason CC0 acts as a free public license replicating much of intended effect of the waiver, although sometimes even licensing those rights isn’t effective. It varies jurisdiction by jurisdiction.

While we can't be certain that all copyright and related rights will indeed be surrendered everywhere, we are confident that CC0 lets you sever the legal ties between you and your work to the greatest extent legally permissible.

==== What kinds of rights am I surrendering when I use CC0? ====

You are surrendering your copyright and neighboring and related rights in a work, including any database rights you may have. You are also surrendering your own publicity and privacy rights. If your image is captured in the work, for example, you cannot later complain that someone is using it in violation of those rights. In other jurisdictions, you may not be able to waive all of your copyright and neighboring and related rights. Moral rights and unknown rights are two examples of rights that may be difficult to waive in some jurisdictions. When waiver isn’t possible, those rights are licensed under CC0 to the extent allowed by law, although again, sometimes those rights cannot be licensed in advance or at all.

==== What are neighboring rights? ====

Neighboring rights consist of a hodgepodge of rights granted by statute in addition to traditional copyright. Performing artists, record producers and those involved in radio and television broadcasting are often holders of neighboring rights, which may include distribution, performance and/or exploitation rights. Some jurisdictions extend copyright to protect these rights; other jurisdictions offer those protections by separate statute as neighboring or related rights.

When you surrender your neighboring rights using CC0, you do not impact the copyrights or related rights of others, though. For example, if you apply CC0 to a sound recording to which you hold copyright, you surrender your exclusive right to digitally perform that sound recording. But your use of CC0 would not affect the copyright, if any, retained by the composer of the music. Neighboring rights differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.

==== What are database rights? ====

Databases may contain facts that, in and of themselves, are not protected by copyright law. The copyright laws of some jurisdictions cover database design and structure, however, and some jurisdictions like the European Union have enacted special laws to protect databases when they are not protected under applicable copyright law. CC0 is intended to cover all copyright and database laws, so that however database rights are protected (under copyright or otherwise), those rights are all surrendered.

==== Can I control how my work is being used once I publish it using CC0? ====

Not really. CC0 is about achieving the effect of placing works in the public domain. Just like anything already in the public domain today, anybody will be able to use your work for any purpose, even in ways you may find distasteful or objectionable. They can also make money off of your work, and they may give you credit or they may not. One aspect you retain control over, however, is the use of the work by others with your trademarks. CC0 does not surrender any trademark rights you have. If others want to associate your trademark with a work you distribute under CC0, they need to ask your permission first as required by trademark law.

If you are worried about how your work will be used, if you want to legally require attribution, or if you don't want people to make money off of your work, then you should not use CC0 and instead consider using one of our licenses.

==== What about other IP related rights, such as trademark and patent rights? ====

CC0 very clearly states that trademark and patent rights of the affirmer are not affected – CC0’s sole reach is copyright and related and neighboring rights, including database rights. Trademarks rights are not affected because creators who use CC0 should be able to protect the quality of products that are associated with their trademark (for example, by preventing a subsequent user of the work from leading others to believe the work in its subsequent use and/or form is associated with or endorsed by the affirmer). So if your primary concern is to ensure the quality and integrity of products associated with your name or your project, then trademark, combined with CC0, may be an option for you.

Patents are fundamentally more challenging. One of our goals at Creative Commons is to encourage use and dissemination of information in a way that encourages others to build upon it, sometimes in surprising and unexpected ways. We can accomplish that objective through a copyright-only solution, without introducing the complexities associated with patent rights. We also wanted to keep CC0 as simple as possible, consistent with its original design goals. We concluded that any perceived benefits of including a patent waiver were significantly outweighed by the downsides of its inclusion.

=== Questions for those thinking about using a CC0’d work ===

==== Can anyone use a work that is distributed under CC0? ====

Yes. CC0 doesn’t restrict who can use a CC0’d work. Once applied, anyone can use the work in any way and for any purpose, including commercial purposes, subject to rights others may have in the work or how it’s used, as well as subject to any other laws or restrictions that may apply.

==== Do I have to attribute the person who applied CC0 to their work? ====

No, there is no legal requirement that you attribute the affirmer, only an expectation that you will voluntarily do so if requested. The CC0 deed provides HTML code that can be copy and pasted into your webpage to easily cite the author and the work, if that information has been provided by the affirmer.

==== Why do some works indicate the jurisdiction from which the work is being published? ====

The CC0 license chooser gives affirmers the opportunity to indicate the jurisdiction from which the work is being offered. If provided by the affirmer, this information is included in the rendered CC0 text that is placed on the work as well as included in the machine-readable code.

The jurisdiction from which the work is being offered is one fact that helps users know what they can and cannot do with a CC0'd work. There are other important facts that impact what rights the affirmer is surrendering and what rights the user has (another, for example, is where the user is located), but the jurisdiction from which the work is offered is one of the more important pieces of information that helps users usefully take advantage of a CC0’d work.

Be careful, though. The jurisdiction, if selected by the affirmer, is not a choice of law or forum selection clause (there are no choice of law or forum selection clauses in CC0). Nor should it be relied upon as definitive for purposes of determining what rights you, as a user of the CC0’d work, may have. It is just one of many facts (if properly selected by the affirmer) that you should take into account before using a work dedicated to the public domain using CC0. Whether or not the affirmer indicated the jurisdiction from which the work was published, you may wish to contact the affirmer to learn more about the work as well as consult your own legal advisor about your rights.

==== What rights do I need to use a CC0’d work? ====

That depends. If you want to use the affirmer’s trademark, you need to get permission first since CC0 doesn’t affect trademark rights. You may also need to get permission from other people who have rights in the work, such as privacy or publicity rights of persons whose likeness or image appear in a photograph or in another work.

==== How can I be sure that I have all the rights I need to use the work? ====

CC0 contains a disclaimer of warranties just like our licenses, so there is no assurance whatsoever that the affirmer (the person who applied CC0 to the work) has all the necessary rights to grant permission to use the CC0’d work. The person applying CC0 to their work is not guaranteeing anything about it, including whether she owns the copyright or has cleared any uses of third-party content that her work may be based on or incorporate. If you are in doubt, then we strongly recommend you not use the work until you have taken all the steps and precautions you feel you need to before doing so, which may include contacting the person who applied CC0 to the work and consulting legal counsel.

下列資訊、CC0、創用CC（Creative Commons）之授權條款與工具感到
疑慮，請諮詢您的法律顧問！

=== 關於CC0的一般問題 ===

==== 什麼是CC0？ ====

不論作者或是創作者是否想要著作權，著作權法與世界上其他法律都
自動將著作權的保護擴展到作者的著作以及資料庫，而CC0給那些想拋棄
著作權的人一個管道，並在符合法律規定下擴展該拋棄範圍，一旦創作者
或是後來著作的權利人都採用CC0到他們的著作上，在著作權法上他們就
已經不再擁有著作權了。在符合法律規定與其他人可能對該著作擁有的權
利或是該著作使用的方式下，任何人皆可以任何方式、目的使用（包含商
業上使用）該著作，故CC0就是一種「無保留權」的選擇。

==== 如何運作？ ====

作。
工具也會隨著適用到著作所生之結果而異，CC0在法律面來說即改變
該著作的著作權狀態，也就是有效地拋棄全球所有的著作權及其相關之法
律或是鄰接權，然公共領域標誌並非合法執行—它就如同一個標籤，標示

下列資訊、CC0、創用CC（Creative Commons）之授權條款與工具感到
疑慮，請諮詢您的法律顧問！

=== 關於CC0的一般問題 ===

==== 什麼是CC0？ ====

不論作者或是創作者是否想要著作權，著作權法與世界上其他法律都
自動將著作權的保護擴展到作者的著作以及資料庫，而CC0給那些想拋棄
著作權的人一個管道，並在符合法律規定下擴展該拋棄範圍，一旦創作者
或是後來著作的權利人都採用CC0到他們的著作上，在著作權法上他們就
已經不再擁有著作權了。在符合法律規定與其他人可能對該著作擁有的權
利或是該著作使用的方式下，任何人皆可以任何方式、目的使用（包含商
業上使用）該著作，故CC0就是一種「無保留權」的選擇。

==== 如何運作？ ====

使用CC0的人（法律稱之為宣告者）透過拋棄其所擁有的著作權、鄰
接權及該著作的相關權利等，於符合法律規定下的最大範圍將著作釋出到
公共領域中。若該拋棄因任何理由顯示為無效，則CC0就如同宣告者的授
權，准許公眾無條件的、不可撤銷的、非專屬的以及無須支付權利金即可
以任何目的使用該著作。

==== CC0與公共領域標誌(Public Domain Mark, PDM)之差異？====

CC0與公共領域標誌兩者大不相同並具有特別目的，CC0僅有作者或是
著作權及其相關權利或是鄰接權（包含特別的資料庫保護權）之所有權人
能使用，且該著作仍受限於一國或是多國中的上述權利；而公共領域標誌
則是開放供任何人使用，並意圖使用於已免於全世界現有著作權限制的著
作。
工具也會隨著適用到著作所生之結果而異，CC0在法律面來說即改變
該著作的著作權狀態，也就是有效地拋棄全球所有的著作權及其相關之法
律或是鄰接權，然公共領域標誌並非合法執行—它就如同一個標籤，標示
該著作免於現有已知的著作權限制。
請參考CC0與公共領域標誌的特性比較表，並瞭解更多關於公共領域
標誌。

=== 關於適用CC0到著作上的相關問題 ===

==== 誰可以使用CC0？ ====

任何一位擁有著作之著作權、鄰接權及其相關權利（如資料庫權）皆
可使用CC0以拋棄上述權利。但請特別注意，CC0就像一條單行道，一旦
您適用CC0於著作即無法改變心意進而再次主張著作權或是資料庫權。在
部份案例中，很難決定某個物品是否具備取得著作權保護之資格（例如資
料庫中的大部份事實資訊），儘管如此，CC0仍是一個向他人保證您已拋
棄任何可能的著作權保護的好方法。雖然您在CC0下並未作過任何關於著
作權人的擔保，但仍須注意當您散布該著作的同時，亦對任一就該著作具
現有權利的第三人負有責任。例如您的著作包含另一依照創用CC姓名標
示授權條款授權之他人著作時，您就必須分開確認那些著作，並將該著作
歸屬於作者並提供授權。又如果是其他授權，亦必須確保您在散布著作前
已遵照授權規定。當然，如果您未取得散布他人著作的許可，即需在使用
CC0前適當取得著作權人的同意。

==== 如何適用CC0到我的著作？ ====

我們的[http://creativecommons.org/choose/zero/ chooser]將會帶領您走過整個流程，當完成時會給您一個
HTML碼，讓您可以複製並貼到您的網站上。請注意，您（即宣告者）自己
可以選擇是否透過張貼在您的網站或是其他地方而公布使用CC0的著作，
但創用CC並不會公布任何著作也不會承擔這個責任。

====選擇CC0者需要的資訊所帶來之利益為何？====

任何您使用Chooser所提供的資訊將被包含在著作上的CC0文字以及機
器可讀碼(machine-readable code)中。潛在的著作使用者可進而使用該資
訊以找到更多關於您著作的訊息，對潛在的使用者而言有價值的地方應該
是您在CC0下提供著作的國家，而我們鼓勵你們不論何時皆可盡量提供資
訊，同時也請留意您選擇的國家並非準據法或是管轄法院條款裡指定的國
家（在CC0中並沒有準據法以及管轄法院條款的概念）。

====可否適用CC0至電腦軟體？如果可以的話建議該如何使用？====

是的，CC0是個適合將電腦軟體中的著作權及其相關權利釋出到公共領域的方法，而且是符合法律規定下最大的範圍。 [[Frequently_Asked_Questions#Can_I_use_a_Creative_Commons_license_for_software.3F|不像CC授權並不適用於軟體]]，CC0與許多軟體授權條款相容
[http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#CC0 包含大眾授權條款(General Public License, GPL)]. 然而，CC0並未經過 [http://opensource.org/ 自由軟體(Open Source Initiative)] 的批准，也不會授權或是影響您可能擁有的專利權。您可能開始考慮使用經OSI准許的授權以取代CC0，例如 [http://opensource.org/licenses/GPL-3.0 大眾授權條款3.0] or [http://opensource.org/licenses/Apache-2.0 或是Apache 2.0].

CC and the Free Software Foundation suggest that if you choose to apply CC0 to software, you include the following notice at the top of each file:

:<PROGRAM NAME> - <DESCRIPTION>

: Written in <YEAR> by <AUTHOR NAME> <AUTHOR E-MAIL ADDRESS>

: [other author/contributor lines as appropriate]

:To the extent possible under law, the author(s) have dedicated all copyright and related and neighboring rights to this software to the public domain worldwide. This software is distributed without any warranty.

:You should have received a copy of the CC0 Public Domain Dedication along with this software. If not, see <http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/>.

It is also recommended that you include a file called COPYING (or COPYING.txt) containing the [http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/legalcode.txt CC0 legalcode as plain text].

==== Does CC0 require others who use my work to give me attribution? ====

No, and that's a big difference between CC0 and our licenses. Unlike our licenses, there are no conditions contained in CC0. Just like anything in the public domain, it will be possible for others to use or adapt it however they wish without attribution. However, this does not mean that you cannot request attribution in accordance with community or professional norms and standards.

When you choose CC0, requests for attribution are not binding through legal requirements (i.e., as a condition of a copyright license) but can be based on ethical and professional norms, such as those that apply to scholarship and science. These norms can be well articulated, widely held, and self-policing, as is the case with citation standards in the academic community (which are based on ethics and professional reputation, not legal conditions). However, in some instances, as with new technologies or emerging disciplines, the exact implementation of these norms in a particular context requires further consensus-building and articulation.

==== Does CC0 really eliminate all copyright and related rights, everywhere? ====

Please don’t take the 0 (zero) in the name “CC0” literally – no legal instrument can ever eliminate all copyright interests in a work in every jurisdiction.

CC0 doesn’t affect two very important categories of copyright and related rights. First, just like our licenses, CC0 does not affect '''''other persons’s rights''''' in the work or in how it is used, such as publicity or [[Frequently_Asked_Questions#When_are_publicity_rights_relevant.3F|privacy rights]]. Second, the laws of some jurisdictions don’t allow authors and copyright owners to waive all of their own rights, such as moral rights. When the waiver doesn’t work for any reason CC0 acts as a free public license replicating much of intended effect of the waiver, although sometimes even licensing those rights isn’t effective. It varies jurisdiction by jurisdiction.

While we can't be certain that all copyright and related rights will indeed be surrendered everywhere, we are confident that CC0 lets you sever the legal ties between you and your work to the greatest extent legally permissible.

==== What kinds of rights am I surrendering when I use CC0? ====

You are surrendering your copyright and neighboring and related rights in a work, including any database rights you may have. You are also surrendering your own publicity and privacy rights. If your image is captured in the work, for example, you cannot later complain that someone is using it in violation of those rights. In other jurisdictions, you may not be able to waive all of your copyright and neighboring and related rights. Moral rights and unknown rights are two examples of rights that may be difficult to waive in some jurisdictions. When waiver isn’t possible, those rights are licensed under CC0 to the extent allowed by law, although again, sometimes those rights cannot be licensed in advance or at all.

==== What are neighboring rights? ====

Neighboring rights consist of a hodgepodge of rights granted by statute in addition to traditional copyright. Performing artists, record producers and those involved in radio and television broadcasting are often holders of neighboring rights, which may include distribution, performance and/or exploitation rights. Some jurisdictions extend copyright to protect these rights; other jurisdictions offer those protections by separate statute as neighboring or related rights.

When you surrender your neighboring rights using CC0, you do not impact the copyrights or related rights of others, though. For example, if you apply CC0 to a sound recording to which you hold copyright, you surrender your exclusive right to digitally perform that sound recording. But your use of CC0 would not affect the copyright, if any, retained by the composer of the music. Neighboring rights differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.

==== What are database rights? ====

Databases may contain facts that, in and of themselves, are not protected by copyright law. The copyright laws of some jurisdictions cover database design and structure, however, and some jurisdictions like the European Union have enacted special laws to protect databases when they are not protected under applicable copyright law. CC0 is intended to cover all copyright and database laws, so that however database rights are protected (under copyright or otherwise), those rights are all surrendered.

==== Can I control how my work is being used once I publish it using CC0? ====

Not really. CC0 is about achieving the effect of placing works in the public domain. Just like anything already in the public domain today, anybody will be able to use your work for any purpose, even in ways you may find distasteful or objectionable. They can also make money off of your work, and they may give you credit or they may not. One aspect you retain control over, however, is the use of the work by others with your trademarks. CC0 does not surrender any trademark rights you have. If others want to associate your trademark with a work you distribute under CC0, they need to ask your permission first as required by trademark law.

If you are worried about how your work will be used, if you want to legally require attribution, or if you don't want people to make money off of your work, then you should not use CC0 and instead consider using one of our licenses.

==== What about other IP related rights, such as trademark and patent rights? ====

CC0 very clearly states that trademark and patent rights of the affirmer are not affected – CC0’s sole reach is copyright and related and neighboring rights, including database rights. Trademarks rights are not affected because creators who use CC0 should be able to protect the quality of products that are associated with their trademark (for example, by preventing a subsequent user of the work from leading others to believe the work in its subsequent use and/or form is associated with or endorsed by the affirmer). So if your primary concern is to ensure the quality and integrity of products associated with your name or your project, then trademark, combined with CC0, may be an option for you.

Patents are fundamentally more challenging. One of our goals at Creative Commons is to encourage use and dissemination of information in a way that encourages others to build upon it, sometimes in surprising and unexpected ways. We can accomplish that objective through a copyright-only solution, without introducing the complexities associated with patent rights. We also wanted to keep CC0 as simple as possible, consistent with its original design goals. We concluded that any perceived benefits of including a patent waiver were significantly outweighed by the downsides of its inclusion.

=== Questions for those thinking about using a CC0’d work ===

==== Can anyone use a work that is distributed under CC0? ====

Yes. CC0 doesn’t restrict who can use a CC0’d work. Once applied, anyone can use the work in any way and for any purpose, including commercial purposes, subject to rights others may have in the work or how it’s used, as well as subject to any other laws or restrictions that may apply.

==== Do I have to attribute the person who applied CC0 to their work? ====

No, there is no legal requirement that you attribute the affirmer, only an expectation that you will voluntarily do so if requested. The CC0 deed provides HTML code that can be copy and pasted into your webpage to easily cite the author and the work, if that information has been provided by the affirmer.

==== Why do some works indicate the jurisdiction from which the work is being published? ====

The CC0 license chooser gives affirmers the opportunity to indicate the jurisdiction from which the work is being offered. If provided by the affirmer, this information is included in the rendered CC0 text that is placed on the work as well as included in the machine-readable code.

The jurisdiction from which the work is being offered is one fact that helps users know what they can and cannot do with a CC0'd work. There are other important facts that impact what rights the affirmer is surrendering and what rights the user has (another, for example, is where the user is located), but the jurisdiction from which the work is offered is one of the more important pieces of information that helps users usefully take advantage of a CC0’d work.

Be careful, though. The jurisdiction, if selected by the affirmer, is not a choice of law or forum selection clause (there are no choice of law or forum selection clauses in CC0). Nor should it be relied upon as definitive for purposes of determining what rights you, as a user of the CC0’d work, may have. It is just one of many facts (if properly selected by the affirmer) that you should take into account before using a work dedicated to the public domain using CC0. Whether or not the affirmer indicated the jurisdiction from which the work was published, you may wish to contact the affirmer to learn more about the work as well as consult your own legal advisor about your rights.

==== What rights do I need to use a CC0’d work? ====

That depends. If you want to use the affirmer’s trademark, you need to get permission first since CC0 doesn’t affect trademark rights. You may also need to get permission from other people who have rights in the work, such as privacy or publicity rights of persons whose likeness or image appear in a photograph or in another work.

==== How can I be sure that I have all the rights I need to use the work? ====

CC0 contains a disclaimer of warranties just like our licenses, so there is no assurance whatsoever that the affirmer (the person who applied CC0 to the work) has all the necessary rights to grant permission to use the CC0’d work. The person applying CC0 to their work is not guaranteeing anything about it, including whether she owns the copyright or has cleared any uses of third-party content that her work may be based on or incorporate. If you are in doubt, then we strongly recommend you not use the work until you have taken all the steps and precautions you feel you need to before doing so, which may include contacting the person who applied CC0 to the work and consulting legal counsel.

====May I apply CC0 to computer software? If so, is there a recommended implementation?====

Yes, CC0 is suitable for dedicating your copyright and related rights in computer software to the public domain, to the fullest extent possible under law. [[Frequently_Asked_Questions#Can_I_use_a_Creative_Commons_license_for_software.3F|Unlike CC licenses, which should not be used for software]], CC0 is compatible with many software licenses,

However, CC0 has not been approved by the [http://opensource.org/ Open Source Initiative] and does not license or otherwise affect any patent rights you may have.

=== 關於CC0的一般問題 ===

==== 什麼是CC0？ ====

不論作者或是創作者是否想要著作權，著作權法與世界上其他法律都
自動將著作權的保護擴展到作者的著作以及資料庫，而CC0給那些想拋棄
著作權的人一個管道，並在符合法律規定下擴展該拋棄範圍，一旦創作者
或是後來著作的權利人都採用CC0到他們的著作上，在著作權法上他們就
已經不再擁有著作權了。在符合法律規定與其他人可能對該著作擁有的權
利或是該著作使用的方式下，任何人皆可以任何方式、目的使用（包含商
業上使用）該著作，故CC0就是一種「無保留權」的選擇。

==== 如何運作？ ====

使用CC0的人（法律稱之為宣告者）透過拋棄其所擁有的著作權、鄰
接權及該著作的相關權利等，於符合法律規定下的最大範圍將著作釋出到
公共領域中。若該拋棄因任何理由顯示為無效，則CC0就如同宣告者的授
權，准許公眾無條件的、不可撤銷的、非專屬的以及無須支付權利金即可
以任何目的使用該著作。

==== CC0與公共領域標誌(Public Domain Mark, PDM)之差異？====

CC0與公共領域標誌兩者大不相同並具有特別目的，CC0僅有作者或是
著作權及其相關權利或是鄰接權（包含特別的資料庫保護權）之所有權人
能使用，且該著作仍受限於一國或是多國中的上述權利；而公共領域標誌
則是開放供任何人使用，並意圖使用於已免於全世界現有著作權限制的著
作。
工具也會隨著適用到著作所生之結果而異，CC0在法律面來說即改變
該著作的著作權狀態，也就是有效地拋棄全球所有的著作權及其相關之法
律或是鄰接權，然公共領域標誌並非合法執行—它就如同一個標籤，標示
該著作免於現有已知的著作權限制。
請參考CC0與公共領域標誌的特性比較表，並瞭解更多關於公共領域
標誌。

=== 關於適用CC0到著作上的相關問題 ===

==== 誰可以使用CC0？ ====

任何一位擁有著作之著作權、鄰接權及其相關權利（如資料庫權）皆
可使用CC0以拋棄上述權利。但請特別注意，CC0就像一條單行道，一旦
您適用CC0於著作即無法改變心意進而再次主張著作權或是資料庫權。在
部份案例中，很難決定某個物品是否具備取得著作權保護之資格（例如資
料庫中的大部份事實資訊），儘管如此，CC0仍是一個向他人保證您已拋
棄任何可能的著作權保護的好方法。雖然您在CC0下並未作過任何關於著
作權人的擔保，但仍須注意當您散布該著作的同時，亦對任一就該著作具
現有權利的第三人負有責任。例如您的著作包含另一依照創用CC姓名標
示授權條款授權之他人著作時，您就必須分開確認那些著作，並將該著作
歸屬於作者並提供授權。又如果是其他授權，亦必須確保您在散布著作前
已遵照授權規定。當然，如果您未取得散布他人著作的許可，即需在使用
CC0前適當取得著作權人的同意。

==== 如何適用CC0到我的著作？ ====

我們的[http://creativecommons.org/choose/zero/ chooser]將會帶領您走過整個流程，當完成時會給您一個
HTML碼，讓您可以複製並貼到您的網站上。請注意，您（即宣告者）自己
可以選擇是否透過張貼在您的網站或是其他地方而公布使用CC0的著作，
但創用CC並不會公布任何著作也不會承擔這個責任。

====What are the benefits of including the information requested by the CC0 chooser?====

Any information you provide when using the chooser will be included in the rendered CC0 text placed on the work as well as included in the machine-readable code. Potential users of your work can then use that information to find out more about your work. Particularly valuable to potential users is the jurisdiction from which you are offering the work under CC0, and we encourage you provide that information whenever possible. Please keep in mind, however, that the jurisdiction you select is not a choice of law or forum selection clause (there are no choice of law or forum selection clauses in CC0).

====May I apply CC0 to computer software? If so, is there a recommended implementation?====

Yes, CC0 is suitable for dedicating your copyright and related rights in computer software to the public domain, to the fullest extent possible under law. [[Frequently_Asked_Questions#Can_I_use_a_Creative_Commons_license_for_software.3F|Unlike CC licenses, which should not be used for software]], CC0 is compatible with many software licenses,
[http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#CC0 including the GPL]. However, CC0 has not been approved by the [http://opensource.org/ Open Source Initiative] and does not license or otherwise affect any patent rights you may have. You may want to consider using an approved OSI license that does so instead of CC0, such as [http://opensource.org/licenses/GPL-3.0 GPL 3.0] or [http://opensource.org/licenses/Apache-2.0 Apache 2.0].

CC and the Free Software Foundation suggest that if you choose to apply CC0 to software, you include the following notice at the top of each file:

:<PROGRAM NAME> - <DESCRIPTION>

: Written in <YEAR> by <AUTHOR NAME> <AUTHOR E-MAIL ADDRESS>

: [other author/contributor lines as appropriate]

:To the extent possible under law, the author(s) have dedicated all copyright and related and neighboring rights to this software to the public domain worldwide. This software is distributed without any warranty.

:You should have received a copy of the CC0 Public Domain Dedication along with this software. If not, see <http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/>.

It is also recommended that you include a file called COPYING (or COPYING.txt) containing the [http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/legalcode.txt CC0 legalcode as plain text].

==== Does CC0 require others who use my work to give me attribution? ====

No, and that's a big difference between CC0 and our licenses. Unlike our licenses, there are no conditions contained in CC0. Just like anything in the public domain, it will be possible for others to use or adapt it however they wish without attribution. However, this does not mean that you cannot request attribution in accordance with community or professional norms and standards.

When you choose CC0, requests for attribution are not binding through legal requirements (i.e., as a condition of a copyright license) but can be based on ethical and professional norms, such as those that apply to scholarship and science. These norms can be well articulated, widely held, and self-policing, as is the case with citation standards in the academic community (which are based on ethics and professional reputation, not legal conditions). However, in some instances, as with new technologies or emerging disciplines, the exact implementation of these norms in a particular context requires further consensus-building and articulation.

==== Does CC0 really eliminate all copyright and related rights, everywhere? ====

Please don’t take the 0 (zero) in the name “CC0” literally – no legal instrument can ever eliminate all copyright interests in a work in every jurisdiction.

CC0 doesn’t affect two very important categories of copyright and related rights. First, just like our licenses, CC0 does not affect '''''other persons’s rights''''' in the work or in how it is used, such as publicity or [[Frequently_Asked_Questions#When_are_publicity_rights_relevant.3F|privacy rights]]. Second, the laws of some jurisdictions don’t allow authors and copyright owners to waive all of their own rights, such as moral rights. When the waiver doesn’t work for any reason CC0 acts as a free public license replicating much of intended effect of the waiver, although sometimes even licensing those rights isn’t effective. It varies jurisdiction by jurisdiction.

While we can't be certain that all copyright and related rights will indeed be surrendered everywhere, we are confident that CC0 lets you sever the legal ties between you and your work to the greatest extent legally permissible.

==== What kinds of rights am I surrendering when I use CC0? ====

You are surrendering your copyright and neighboring and related rights in a work, including any database rights you may have. You are also surrendering your own publicity and privacy rights. If your image is captured in the work, for example, you cannot later complain that someone is using it in violation of those rights. In other jurisdictions, you may not be able to waive all of your copyright and neighboring and related rights. Moral rights and unknown rights are two examples of rights that may be difficult to waive in some jurisdictions. When waiver isn’t possible, those rights are licensed under CC0 to the extent allowed by law, although again, sometimes those rights cannot be licensed in advance or at all.

==== What are neighboring rights? ====

Neighboring rights consist of a hodgepodge of rights granted by statute in addition to traditional copyright. Performing artists, record producers and those involved in radio and television broadcasting are often holders of neighboring rights, which may include distribution, performance and/or exploitation rights. Some jurisdictions extend copyright to protect these rights; other jurisdictions offer those protections by separate statute as neighboring or related rights.

When you surrender your neighboring rights using CC0, you do not impact the copyrights or related rights of others, though. For example, if you apply CC0 to a sound recording to which you hold copyright, you surrender your exclusive right to digitally perform that sound recording. But your use of CC0 would not affect the copyright, if any, retained by the composer of the music. Neighboring rights differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.

==== What are database rights? ====

Databases may contain facts that, in and of themselves, are not protected by copyright law. The copyright laws of some jurisdictions cover database design and structure, however, and some jurisdictions like the European Union have enacted special laws to protect databases when they are not protected under applicable copyright law. CC0 is intended to cover all copyright and database laws, so that however database rights are protected (under copyright or otherwise), those rights are all surrendered.

==== Can I control how my work is being used once I publish it using CC0? ====

Not really. CC0 is about achieving the effect of placing works in the public domain. Just like anything already in the public domain today, anybody will be able to use your work for any purpose, even in ways you may find distasteful or objectionable. They can also make money off of your work, and they may give you credit or they may not. One aspect you retain control over, however, is the use of the work by others with your trademarks. CC0 does not surrender any trademark rights you have. If others want to associate your trademark with a work you distribute under CC0, they need to ask your permission first as required by trademark law.

If you are worried about how your work will be used, if you want to legally require attribution, or if you don't want people to make money off of your work, then you should not use CC0 and instead consider using one of our licenses.

==== What about other IP related rights, such as trademark and patent rights? ====

CC0 very clearly states that trademark and patent rights of the affirmer are not affected – CC0’s sole reach is copyright and related and neighboring rights, including database rights. Trademarks rights are not affected because creators who use CC0 should be able to protect the quality of products that are associated with their trademark (for example, by preventing a subsequent user of the work from leading others to believe the work in its subsequent use and/or form is associated with or endorsed by the affirmer). So if your primary concern is to ensure the quality and integrity of products associated with your name or your project, then trademark, combined with CC0, may be an option for you.

Patents are fundamentally more challenging. One of our goals at Creative Commons is to encourage use and dissemination of information in a way that encourages others to build upon it, sometimes in surprising and unexpected ways. We can accomplish that objective through a copyright-only solution, without introducing the complexities associated with patent rights. We also wanted to keep CC0 as simple as possible, consistent with its original design goals. We concluded that any perceived benefits of including a patent waiver were significantly outweighed by the downsides of its inclusion.

=== Questions for those thinking about using a CC0’d work ===

==== Can anyone use a work that is distributed under CC0? ====

Yes. CC0 doesn’t restrict who can use a CC0’d work. Once applied, anyone can use the work in any way and for any purpose, including commercial purposes, subject to rights others may have in the work or how it’s used, as well as subject to any other laws or restrictions that may apply.

==== Do I have to attribute the person who applied CC0 to their work? ====

No, there is no legal requirement that you attribute the affirmer, only an expectation that you will voluntarily do so if requested. The CC0 deed provides HTML code that can be copy and pasted into your webpage to easily cite the author and the work, if that information has been provided by the affirmer.

==== Why do some works indicate the jurisdiction from which the work is being published? ====

The CC0 license chooser gives affirmers the opportunity to indicate the jurisdiction from which the work is being offered. If provided by the affirmer, this information is included in the rendered CC0 text that is placed on the work as well as included in the machine-readable code.

The jurisdiction from which the work is being offered is one fact that helps users know what they can and cannot do with a CC0'd work. There are other important facts that impact what rights the affirmer is surrendering and what rights the user has (another, for example, is where the user is located), but the jurisdiction from which the work is offered is one of the more important pieces of information that helps users usefully take advantage of a CC0’d work.

Be careful, though. The jurisdiction, if selected by the affirmer, is not a choice of law or forum selection clause (there are no choice of law or forum selection clauses in CC0). Nor should it be relied upon as definitive for purposes of determining what rights you, as a user of the CC0’d work, may have. It is just one of many facts (if properly selected by the affirmer) that you should take into account before using a work dedicated to the public domain using CC0. Whether or not the affirmer indicated the jurisdiction from which the work was published, you may wish to contact the affirmer to learn more about the work as well as consult your own legal advisor about your rights.

==== What rights do I need to use a CC0’d work? ====

That depends. If you want to use the affirmer’s trademark, you need to get permission first since CC0 doesn’t affect trademark rights. You may also need to get permission from other people who have rights in the work, such as privacy or publicity rights of persons whose likeness or image appear in a photograph or in another work.

==== How can I be sure that I have all the rights I need to use the work? ====

CC0 contains a disclaimer of warranties just like our licenses, so there is no assurance whatsoever that the affirmer (the person who applied CC0 to the work) has all the necessary rights to grant permission to use the CC0’d work. The person applying CC0 to their work is not guaranteeing anything about it, including whether she owns the copyright or has cleared any uses of third-party content that her work may be based on or incorporate. If you are in doubt, then we strongly recommend you not use the work until you have taken all the steps and precautions you feel you need to before doing so, which may include contacting the person who applied CC0 to the work and consulting legal counsel.

=== Questions for those thinking about applying CC0 to their work(s) ===

==== Who can use CC0? ====

Anyone who owns copyright and neighboring and related rights (such as database rights) in a work can use CC0 to give up those rights. But please be careful. CC0 is a one-way street. Once you apply CC0 to your work you can’t change your mind later and re-assert copyright or database rights over the work. In some cases, it’s hard to decide if something qualifies for copyright protection (for example, a database of mostly factual data). Even then, CC0 can be a useful way to assure others that you have committed to surrendering any possible copyright protection you may have.

Even though are you not making any warranties of copyright ownership under CC0, keep in mind that you are still responsible to any third parties who may have existing rights in your work when you distribute the work. For example, if your work contains another person’s work made available under a CC Attribution license, you will need to identify that work separately, attribute the author and provide the license. Likewise, for any other license(s), you will need to ensure that you are in compliance before distributing the work. Of course, if you do not have permission to distribute a work belonging to someone else, you will need to seek appropriate permission from the copyright owner before you use CC0.

==== How do I apply CC0 to my work? ====

Our [http://creativecommons.org/choose/zero/ chooser] will lead you through process. When completed, you will be provided with HTML code that you can copy and paste into your website. Please be aware that it is up to you, the affirmer, to publish your work using CC0 by posting it to your website or elsewhere. Creative Commons does not publish any works and cannot accept responsibility for doing so.

====What are the benefits of including the information requested by the CC0 chooser?====

Any information you provide when using the chooser will be included in the rendered CC0 text placed on the work as well as included in the machine-readable code. Potential users of your work can then use that information to find out more about your work. Particularly valuable to potential users is the jurisdiction from which you are offering the work under CC0, and we encourage you provide that information whenever possible.

=== Questions about CC0 generally ===

==== What is CC0? ====

Copyright and other laws throughout the world automatically extend copyright protection to works of authorship and databases, whether the author or creator wants those rights or not. CC0 gives those who want to give up those rights a way to do so, to the fullest extent allowed by law. Once the creator or a subsequent owner of a work applies CC0 to a work, the work is no longer his or hers in any meaningful sense under copyright law. Anyone can then use the work in any way and for any purpose, including commercial purposes, subject to other laws and the rights others may have in the work or how the work is used. Think of CC0 as the "no rights reserved" option.

==== How does it work? ====

A person using CC0 (called the “affirmer” in the legal code) dedicates a work to the public domain by waiving all of his or her copyright and neighboring and related rights in a work, to the fullest extent permitted by law. If the waiver isn’t effective for any reason, then CC0 acts as a license from the affirmer granting the public an unconditional, irrevocable, non exclusive, royalty free license to use the work for any purpose.

==== What is the difference between CC0 and the Public Domain Mark ("PDM")?====

CC0 and PDM differ in important respects and have distinct purposes. CC0 is intended for use only by authors or holders of copyright and related or neighboring rights (including sui generis database rights), in connection with works that are still subject to those rights in one or more jurisdictions. PDM, on the other hand, can be used by anyone, and is intended for use with works that are already free of known copyright restrictions throughout the world. The tools also differ in terms of their effect when applied to a work. CC0 is legally operative in the sense that when it is applied, it changes the copyright status of the work, effectively relinquishing all copyright and related or neighboring rights worldwide. PDM is not legally operative in any respect – it is intended to function as a label, marking a work that is already free of known copyright restrictions.

=== Questions for those thinking about applying CC0 to their work(s) ===

==== Who can use CC0? ====

Anyone who owns copyright and neighboring and related rights (such as database rights) in a work can use CC0 to give up those rights. But please be careful. CC0 is a one-way street. Once you apply CC0 to your work you can’t change your mind later and re-assert copyright or database rights over the work. In some cases, it’s hard to decide if something qualifies for copyright protection (for example, a database of mostly factual data). Even then, CC0 can be a useful way to assure others that you have committed to surrendering any possible copyright protection you may have.

Even though are you not making any warranties of copyright ownership under CC0, keep in mind that you are still responsible to any third parties who may have existing rights in your work when you distribute the work. For example, if your work contains another person’s work made available under a CC Attribution license, you will need to identify that work separately, attribute the author and provide the license. Likewise, for any other license(s), you will need to ensure that you are in compliance before distributing the work. Of course, if you do not have permission to distribute a work belonging to someone else, you will need to seek appropriate permission from the copyright owner before you use CC0.

==== How do I apply CC0 to my work? ====

Our [http://creativecommons.org/choose/zero/ chooser] will lead you through process. When completed, you will be provided with HTML code that you can copy and paste into your website. Please be aware that it is up to you, the affirmer, to publish your work using CC0 by posting it to your website or elsewhere. Creative Commons does not publish any works and cannot accept responsibility for doing so.

====What are the benefits of including the information requested by the CC0 chooser?====

Any information you provide when using the chooser will be included in the rendered CC0 text placed on the work as well as included in the machine-readable code. Potential users of your work can then use that information to find out more about your work. Particularly valuable to potential users is the jurisdiction from which you are offering the work under CC0, and we encourage you provide that information whenever possible. Please keep in mind, however, that the jurisdiction you select is not a choice of law or forum selection clause (there are no choice of law or forum selection clauses in CC0).

====May I apply CC0 to computer software? If so, is there a recommended implementation?====

Yes, CC0 is suitable for dedicating your copyright and related rights in computer software to the public domain, to the fullest extent possible under law. [[Frequently_Asked_Questions#Can_I_use_a_Creative_Commons_license_for_software.3F|Unlike CC licenses, which should not be used for software]], CC0 is compatible with many software licenses,
[http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#CC0 including the GPL]. However, CC0 has not been approved by the [http://opensource.org/ Open Source Initiative] and does not license or otherwise affect any patent rights you may have. You may want to consider using an approved OSI license that does so instead of CC0, such as [http://opensource.org/licenses/GPL-3.0 GPL 3.0] or [http://opensource.org/licenses/Apache-2.0 Apache 2.0].

CC and the Free Software Foundation suggest that if you choose to apply CC0 to software, you include the following notice at the top of each file:

:<PROGRAM NAME> - <DESCRIPTION>

: Written in <YEAR> by <AUTHOR NAME> <AUTHOR E-MAIL ADDRESS>

: [other author/contributor lines as appropriate]

:To the extent possible under law, the author(s) have dedicated all copyright and related and neighboring rights to this software to the public domain worldwide. This software is distributed without any warranty.

:You should have received a copy of the CC0 Public Domain Dedication along with this software. If not, see <http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/>.

It is also recommended that you include a file called COPYING (or COPYING.txt) containing the [http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/legalcode.txt CC0 legalcode as plain text].

==== Does CC0 require others who use my work to give me attribution? ====

No, and that's a big difference between CC0 and our licenses. Unlike our licenses, there are no conditions contained in CC0. Just like anything in the public domain, it will be possible for others to use or adapt it however they wish without attribution. However, this does not mean that you cannot request attribution in accordance with community or professional norms and standards.

When you choose CC0, requests for attribution are not binding through legal requirements (i.e., as a condition of a copyright license) but can be based on ethical and professional norms, such as those that apply to scholarship and science. These norms can be well articulated, widely held, and self-policing, as is the case with citation standards in the academic community (which are based on ethics and professional reputation, not legal conditions). However, in some instances, as with new technologies or emerging disciplines, the exact implementation of these norms in a particular context requires further consensus-building and articulation.

==== Does CC0 really eliminate all copyright and related rights, everywhere? ====

Please don’t take the 0 (zero) in the name “CC0” literally – no legal instrument can ever eliminate all copyright interests in a work in every jurisdiction.

CC0 doesn’t affect two very important categories of copyright and related rights. First, just like our licenses, CC0 does not affect '''''other persons’s rights''''' in the work or in how it is used, such as publicity or [[Frequently_Asked_Questions#When_are_publicity_rights_relevant.3F|privacy rights]]. Second, the laws of some jurisdictions don’t allow authors and copyright owners to waive all of their own rights, such as moral rights. When the waiver doesn’t work for any reason CC0 acts as a free public license replicating much of intended effect of the waiver, although sometimes even licensing those rights isn’t effective. It varies jurisdiction by jurisdiction.

While we can't be certain that all copyright and related rights will indeed be surrendered everywhere, we are confident that CC0 lets you sever the legal ties between you and your work to the greatest extent legally permissible.

==== What kinds of rights am I surrendering when I use CC0? ====

You are surrendering your copyright and neighboring and related rights in a work, including any database rights you may have. You are also surrendering your own publicity and privacy rights. If your image is captured in the work, for example, you cannot later complain that someone is using it in violation of those rights. In other jurisdictions, you may not be able to waive all of your copyright and neighboring and related rights. Moral rights and unknown rights are two examples of rights that may be difficult to waive in some jurisdictions. When waiver isn’t possible, those rights are licensed under CC0 to the extent allowed by law, although again, sometimes those rights cannot be licensed in advance or at all.

==== What are neighboring rights? ====

Neighboring rights consist of a hodgepodge of rights granted by statute in addition to traditional copyright. Performing artists, record producers and those involved in radio and television broadcasting are often holders of neighboring rights, which may include distribution, performance and/or exploitation rights. Some jurisdictions extend copyright to protect these rights; other jurisdictions offer those protections by separate statute as neighboring or related rights.

When you surrender your neighboring rights using CC0, you do not impact the copyrights or related rights of others, though. For example, if you apply CC0 to a sound recording to which you hold copyright, you surrender your exclusive right to digitally perform that sound recording. But your use of CC0 would not affect the copyright, if any, retained by the composer of the music. Neighboring rights differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.

==== What are database rights? ====

Databases may contain facts that, in and of themselves, are not protected by copyright law. The copyright laws of some jurisdictions cover database design and structure, however, and some jurisdictions like the European Union have enacted special laws to protect databases when they are not protected under applicable copyright law. CC0 is intended to cover all copyright and database laws, so that however database rights are protected (under copyright or otherwise), those rights are all surrendered.

==== Can I control how my work is being used once I publish it using CC0? ====

Not really. CC0 is about achieving the effect of placing works in the public domain. Just like anything already in the public domain today, anybody will be able to use your work for any purpose, even in ways you may find distasteful or objectionable. They can also make money off of your work, and they may give you credit or they may not. One aspect you retain control over, however, is the use of the work by others with your trademarks. CC0 does not surrender any trademark rights you have. If others want to associate your trademark with a work you distribute under CC0, they need to ask your permission first as required by trademark law.

If you are worried about how your work will be used, if you want to legally require attribution, or if you don't want people to make money off of your work, then you should not use CC0 and instead consider using one of our licenses.

==== What about other IP related rights, such as trademark and patent rights? ====

CC0 very clearly states that trademark and patent rights of the affirmer are not affected – CC0’s sole reach is copyright and related and neighboring rights, including database rights. Trademarks rights are not affected because creators who use CC0 should be able to protect the quality of products that are associated with their trademark (for example, by preventing a subsequent user of the work from leading others to believe the work in its subsequent use and/or form is associated with or endorsed by the affirmer). So if your primary concern is to ensure the quality and integrity of products associated with your name or your project, then trademark, combined with CC0, may be an option for you.

Patents are fundamentally more challenging. One of our goals at Creative Commons is to encourage use and dissemination of information in a way that encourages others to build upon it, sometimes in surprising and unexpected ways. We can accomplish that objective through a copyright-only solution, without introducing the complexities associated with patent rights. We also wanted to keep CC0 as simple as possible, consistent with its original design goals. We concluded that any perceived benefits of including a patent waiver were significantly outweighed by the downsides of its inclusion.

=== Questions for those thinking about using a CC0’d work ===

==== Can anyone use a work that is distributed under CC0? ====

Yes. CC0 doesn’t restrict who can use a CC0’d work. Once applied, anyone can use the work in any way and for any purpose, including commercial purposes, subject to rights others may have in the work or how it’s used, as well as subject to any other laws or restrictions that may apply.

==== Do I have to attribute the person who applied CC0 to their work? ====

No, there is no legal requirement that you attribute the affirmer, only an expectation that you will voluntarily do so if requested. The CC0 deed provides HTML code that can be copy and pasted into your webpage to easily cite the author and the work, if that information has been provided by the affirmer.

==== Why do some works indicate the jurisdiction from which the work is being published? ====

The CC0 license chooser gives affirmers the opportunity to indicate the jurisdiction from which the work is being offered. If provided by the affirmer, this information is included in the rendered CC0 text that is placed on the work as well as included in the machine-readable code.

The jurisdiction from which the work is being offered is one fact that helps users know what they can and cannot do with a CC0'd work. There are other important facts that impact what rights the affirmer is surrendering and what rights the user has (another, for example, is where the user is located), but the jurisdiction from which the work is offered is one of the more important pieces of information that helps users usefully take advantage of a CC0’d work.

Be careful, though. The jurisdiction, if selected by the affirmer, is not a choice of law or forum selection clause (there are no choice of law or forum selection clauses in CC0). Nor should it be relied upon as definitive for purposes of determining what rights you, as a user of the CC0’d work, may have. It is just one of many facts (if properly selected by the affirmer) that you should take into account before using a work dedicated to the public domain using CC0. Whether or not the affirmer indicated the jurisdiction from which the work was published, you may wish to contact the affirmer to learn more about the work as well as consult your own legal advisor about your rights.

==== What rights do I need to use a CC0’d work? ====

That depends. If you want to use the affirmer’s trademark, you need to get permission first since CC0 doesn’t affect trademark rights. You may also need to get permission from other people who have rights in the work, such as privacy or publicity rights of persons whose likeness or image appear in a photograph or in another work.

==== How can I be sure that I have all the rights I need to use the work? ====

CC0 contains a disclaimer of warranties just like our licenses, so there is no assurance whatsoever that the affirmer (the person who applied CC0 to the work) has all the necessary rights to grant permission to use the CC0’d work. The person applying CC0 to their work is not guaranteeing anything about it, including whether she owns the copyright or has cleared any uses of third-party content that her work may be based on or incorporate. If you are in doubt, then we strongly recommend you not use the work until you have taken all the steps and precautions you feel you need to before doing so, which may include contacting the person who applied CC0 to the work and consulting legal counsel.
