[open-science] Data sharing policy for citizen science projects?

Tue Jun 12 06:56:02 UTC 2012

It's a good point, except that such option isn't available everywhere
(the last time I checked, CC0 isn't compatible with Polish law, so we
don't have it ported here). But on the other hand CC0 defaults to
CC-BY in here, so probably one can use it in a culturally readable
sense...

Thanks
