Dear all,

Germany's national public television broadcaster ZDF releases video clips and photos on climate change and global warming under CC BY 4.0 for the first time on this website: https://www.zdf.de/dokumentation/terra-x/terra-x-creative-commons-cc-100.htm...

Though there are things to improve, like adding a CC-button with more info on correct licensing in each video, this his can be seen as a milestone and a role model for more content and public service broadcasters like ARD to open up and share content especially in the fields of news and documentation.

After all, media under public law are publicly financed and using free licences would correspond to their mission since they'd make a significant contribution to the reach of public content.

Feel free to share the news and make them visible on twitter and other channels.
