Note: CC-BY licenses allow others to distribute, remix, tweak, and build upon the work, even commercially, as long as they credit the creators for the original creation. CC0 specifies that the creators of an ontology waive, to the extent that they legally can be, all rights and place the ontology in the public domain. It does not prevent them from requesting that the ontology be properly credited and cited, but prevents any legal recourse if it is not credited. Many pros and cons of CC-BY versus CC0 are laid out in [this discussion](https://github.com/OBOFoundry/OBOFoundry.github.io/issues/285). It is important to note that one can move from CC-BY to CC0 but not the other way around.
