Creative Commons Zero (CC0)

Creative Commons Zero (CC0) is a public domain dedication tool that allows creators to waive their copyright and related rights voluntarily. By applying CC0 to their work, creators give everyone free, unrestricted permission to use, modify, share, and distribute the work for any purpose—commercial or non-commercial—without needing to ask for permission or give credit. It essentially places the work into the public domain, making it available for widespread use while respecting the creator’s intent to maximize accessibility and sharing.
