Public domain / CC0

Creative Commons Zero v1.0 Universal

A public-domain dedication with a fallback waiver/license so works can be used with minimal restrictions.

Compared to common options: More structured than a casual “public domain” claim; unlike MIT, CC0 aims to waive attribution requirements.

Generally allows

  • Commercial use
  • Modification
  • Distribution
  • Private use
  • No attribution required by CC0

Typically requires

  • Respect moral rights or other non-waivable rights that may remain in some jurisdictions

Watch-outs

  • Implying endorsement by the dedicating party

How teams usually use it

  1. Common for data, standards text, and some software dedications.
  2. Prefer the official Creative Commons legal code over informal “public domain” claims.
