Creative Commons Launches CC+ and CC0 Programs

We are very excited to announce the launch of the CC+ (aka CC Plus) and CC0 (aka CC Zero) programs. These are major additions to the Creative Commons array of legal tools.

In a nutshell, CC+ is a protocol to enable a simple way for users to get rights beyond those granted by a CC license.  Meanwhile, CC0 is a protocol that enables people to either assert that a work has no legal restrictions attached to it or waive any rights associated with a work so it has no legal restrictions attached to it. The program also provides an easy way to sign these assertions or waivers.

Please read our press release about the launch of CC+ and CC0 for more information about how they work and who we’re collaborating with.
