Mike, all, thank you very much for this input. So do I understand it correctly that during development and testing, we can can go with CC-0, and later relicense to whatever seems suitable, which is possible with CC-0?
To go now with a license that will prevent us from migrating later, either CC-BY-SA 4.0 or ODbL, seems to be too early to decide now.
