We're excited to be joining an ever-growing number of signatories that committ to
✅ working toward making openness the default for research information;
✅ working with services and systems that support and enable open research information;
✅ supporting the sustainability of infrastructures for open research information;
✅ and supporting collective action to accelerate the transition to openness of research information.
In our context, we work hard to make that happen by providing an #opensource platform for small, scholar-led, and university publishers to manage and disseminate fully open #CC0#metadata for #OAbooks - which is of particular relevance to the #Humanities#SSH!
Currently really fired up because someone on FreeSound.org listed a song as #CC0, but is demanding #attribution in the #comments and claiming #copyright on #YouTube videos. I think he just doesn't speak English well and doesn't know the difference between CC0 and CC-BY. But man am I aggravated by the whole thing.
An important distinction is slowly being uncovered about the definition of the term "fediverse." Who is it that gets to decide what this place is? How are we being represented? These are not easy questions to answer and if we don't do a better job describing ourselves, then the job will get done for us by people who don't understand the underlying values we hold. #fediverse#meta#threads
It was first uploaded, AFAIK, in Wiki Commons by Eukobos (I think it's Eudaimon too), dedicated to the #PublicDomain through #CC0#CCzero.
It was June 2018.
No one submitted other proposals so it became the accepted logo of the #Fediverse. Variations from other users based on the same logo also came out later.

Since the J. Paul #Getty#Museum launched its Open Content program back in 2013, we’ve been featuring their efforts to make their vast collection of cultural artifacts freely accessible online. They announced an expansion of access in that they’ve made nearly 88,000 images free to download on their Open Content database under Creative Commons Zero #CC0 : You can copy, modify, distribute and perform the work, even for commercial purposes, all without asking permission.”

Great news. Last year's release of the IRR related to #Copyright stated that a registry will be created for Filipino works, and works produced in the Philippines, in the #PublicDomain.
In addition to the above, the IRR also finalised that any Philippine government works, unless otherwise specified, are now automatically in the Public Domain.
Today we're scanning a 3rd and final variation of the large regolith surface at @PTS_space#TheMoon, about 3.5x7 meters. Each of these scans is 85GB of raw data with 1500 photos, which is probably going to result in about a 10 billion poly mesh each 🙂
In addition to the final PBR materials, we will also share the raw source data as #CC0 for any researchers to use.
