“No Rights Reserved”

Creative Commons Zero (cc0) license is a rights-waiving tool released by the Creative Commons nonprofit organization in 2009. CC0 creator does not reserve any rights to the work. For NFT projects that declare a CC0 license, this means anyone is free to copy, and modify the content of the NFT for secondary creation, and they can use the work of art for commercial or other purposes without attribution to the original artist, team, or creator. If you don‘t hold a CC0 NFT, you will not be sued for copyright infringement for doing the following things：

• Modify and recreate the image of a CC0 NFT, and the new creation has been sold already;

• Print any CC0 NFT image on clothing and sell it, with 100% of the profits going to you, not to the project owner or NFT holder;

• Release all the secondary creations of the entire CC0 NFT as a new NFT project, as long as you don’t take the original name of the project;

There are many well-known NFT projects that have declared CC0 licenses, such as A Common Place, Anonymice, Blitmap, Chain Runners, Cryptoadz, Crypto Teddies, Goblintown, Gradis, mfers, Loot, and moonbirds, which just announced the adoption of CC0 licenses, as well as most of the projects in the previous Free Mint market.

CC0 has an incredible “meme-ability” by actively inviting the creation of derivative works. Looking for mfers that we laid back dreamers are most familiar with, mfers is known as the uncrowned king of meme NFT. Mfers are naturally suitable as a meme, and you will find a large number of mfers even non-holders creating mfers’ emojis and posting on social media every day. People don’t spread them for profit, they just have fun by doing that. In addition to the large number of daily meme emojis, mfers also produce many derivatives. 3D series, punk series, and ape series are all released by community members. And as new derivatives are created and shared, attention can flow back towards the original mfers, strengthening people’s love for the original. The mission of web3 is decentralization. With the announcement of the end of founder sartoshi, mfers is now completely self-governed by community members, and it widens the boundaries of the subsequent development of mfers. Secondary creation allows projects to be more widely distributed. Enthusiasts are willing to do secondary creations to promote. This is why most of the small projects chose CC0 in the previous Free Mint market. In the bear market, the way to da moon might be betting on CC0.

The current laws and regulations regarding NFT are in lack, and it is unknown whether CC0 will be the ultimate solution for future NFT copyright. Also, NFT's project parties are privatized legal entities in the market. They are free to do whatever they want within the scope of the law. And this 'over-centralization' is contrary to the decentralized ideals of Web3, which needs more freedom and composability. We won't discuss the impact of the transformation of moonbirds into the CC0 on the original holders, perhaps one day in the future we look back, we might find that CC0 projects are all doing the right things stepping toward the ultimate mission of decentralization.
