The head of Sweden's national library (Royal library) has declared
that the national union catalog (Libris) and authority files are
freely available without any claims of copyright, or cc0.

In practice, there have never been any claims to copyright, the
Libris website works fine, and is widely used by LibraryThing,
Wikipedia and other services. The new thing is the explicit
cc0 (Creative Commons zero) declaration.
