  CC LICENSES &PUBLIC DOMAIN What if the creator of a work does not want “all rights reserved” and wishes to relinquish copyright? In some countries, creators are not allowed to give up the copyright for their work using a waiver. For this, Creative Commons has a public domain tool, CC0. This license unconditionally allows anyone, anywhere in the world, to do what they wish with that work. This license includes “a promise by the person applying CC0 to their work that they will not assert copyright against reusers in a manner that interferes with their stated intention of surrendering all rights in the work.” https://certificates.creativecommons.org/cccertedu/chapter/3-3-license-types/ This tool also carries rights beyond the other CC licenses. An example would be non- competition laws. To reuse a work, you may still need to get clearance for other rights such as trademark, patent or third party rights.
