Beat me to it! I was just looking for this thread to post an update to. Two things of note: - the web site hasn't been updated with the new license yet - I haven't seen anything on ODC-By *who* ie is it each VIAF data contributor? OCLC (ick!)? Some VIAF pseudo-entity? >From OpenLibrary's point of view though, it doesn't make too much difference since ODB-By is too restrictive to mix with CC0. So close, yet so far...
