Many thanks Mike for the translation in english. Very appreciated

For the English speaking provinces and their municipalities, we hope 
that they will follow us ;-)

Question : Does CC0 really surpass CC 4.0? Do you mean that any 
"provenance" metadata (like BY) is worse at all?

IMHO, Knowledge (including data and information) is by definition linked 
to people and context (provenance metadata). Data and contents without 
people and context (space and time) cannot make sense (sensemaking).

Truly Regards,
