The document discusses using the CC0 public domain dedication to freely share scientific data. It notes that as scientific data volumes grow, making data openly available without restrictions can help others analyze and reuse the data. Studies have shown that scientific papers that make their underlying data publicly available tend to receive more citations over time than papers that do not share data. The document promotes using CC0 to easily allow sharing, reuse, and remixing of scientific data to advance open science.

9. Why CC0?
Easy to share
Easy to re-use
Easy to remix
● Attribution = cultural norm
● Data copyrightable?
● Warm fuzzy open science feelings
