  CC Legal Tools- CC Zero You use CC0 to dedicate a work to the public domain by waiving all of your copyright (and neighboring rights, if any) in a work, to the fullest extent permitted by law. If the waiver isn’t effective for any reason, then CC0 acts as a license from the affirmer granting the public an unconditional, irrevocable, non exclusive, royalty free license to use the work for any purpose.

  CC Legal Tools- Public Domain Mark Using the Public Domain Mark, you can mark a work that is free of known copyright restrictions and clearly convey that status. When applied properly, the PDM allows the work to be easily discovered, and provides valuable information about the work.
