Nevertheless I already knew this matter, but I am not sure the fallback mechanism could work in every circumstance. For example, as far as I know, the Italian copyright laws states that the moral rights are eternal and not transferable, and that necessarily there must be someone who holds the "economic" rights up to the expiration of the "protection". So the final effect using CC0 might be legally uncleared and uncertainly for an Italian author... Besides also the CC0 FAQs at https://wiki.creativecommons.org/wiki/CC0_FAQ#Does_CC0_really_eliminate_all_copyright_and_related_rights.2C_everywhere.3F seem to confirm my interpretation: -- "CC0 doesn’t affect two very important categories of copyright and related rights. First, just like our licenses, CC0 does not affect other persons’ rights in the work or in how it is used, such as publicity or privacy rights. Second, the laws of some jurisdictions don’t allow authors and copyright owners to waive all of their own rights, such as moral rights. When the waiver doesn’t work for any reason CC0 acts as a free public license replicating much of intended effect of the waiver, although sometimes even licensing those rights isn’t effective. It varies jurisdiction by jurisdiction. While we can't be certain that all copyright and related rights will indeed be surrendered everywhere, we are confident that CC0 lets you sever the legal ties between you and your work to the greatest extent legally permissible." -- > > In my opinion, it would be better allowing the very full list of CC > > licenses, including the NC clause: subtracting user's stuff posted to any > > supposedly "social" service from their commercial exploitation determines > > more freedom than assuring compatibility with copyleft licenses... > > I'd like to keep freeyourstuff.cc (the website) to be exclusively CC-0 > for now to keep licensing-related friction for re-users to a minimum. > [...] Thanks again for your clarification.
