CC0 1.0 Universal

CC0 1.0 Universal, also known as "Public Domain Dedication," is a legal tool allowing creators to give up their copyright rights and place their work directly into the public domain worldwide. This means anyone can freely use, modify, and share the work for any purpose without needing permission or giving credit to the creator. It provides maximum openness and legal certainty, making it easier to share knowledge, art, and information globally. Essentially, CC0 1.0 helps creators voluntarily waive their rights to promote open access and collaborative use of their work.
