How should I interpret 'can' in that last sentence? Copyright, or auteursrechten in Dutch, go get automatically? Do you not get, under EU law, get copyright on database automatically? Several contributors are EU citizen. With the original choice of the MIT license we accepted that we automatically get copyright, but still say what we mean. A CC0 would make that situation even more clear.
