Nature Journal Endorses CC0

Kaitlin Thaney has a new post at Science Commons reporting that Nature has endorsed the Creative Commons Zero license. The editorial discusses lost opportunities to science when information, even genetic material, is not made available publicly. From the editorial:

Although it is usual practice for major public databases to make data freely available to access and use, any restrictions on use should be strongly resisted and we endorse explicit encouragement of open sharing, for example under the newly available CC0 public domain waiver of Creative Commons.
