Summary
CC0 is a protocol that enables people to WAIVE any rights associated with a work so it has no copyright or neighboring rights restrictions attached to it.
CC0 improves and extends the current CC public domain dedication. Key additions:
- A protocol facilitating the conveyance of norms with a waiver statement.
- "Universal" rather than U.S.-centric.
A beta version of the protocol, including the traditional components of the CC architecture -- legalcode, human-readable explanation, machine-readable metadata, and tools, has been launched for public discussion on January 15, 2008.
