It either has to use names, or it has to use identifiers for entries 
from the libraries in VIAF. For the moment, I expect that we will be 
using a string match on names (and exactly how that match will work is 
another matter) because OL is not receiving bibliographic records with 
the identifiers.

Also note that there is no explicit CC0 on the LC data. The copyright 
notice on MARC states:

"Copyright

Congress are copyrighted by the Library of Congress for use outside the 
United States. Subscribers are granted copyright permission to 
selectively redistribute records outside the United States; contact LC 
prior to any distribution."
