Dear everybody,

As part of the Connected Open Heritage[1] project we have created a short paper with arguments for why a data owner should use a CC0 dedication, rather than the CC BY license for their datasets.[2] The document was created with state agencies in mind and based on questions they have asked us, but it should hopefully be useful also for you when approaching other types of actors.

Please let us know what you think, and if you miss something or have any questions!

Best regards,

John
