Remove unofficial version of CC0 legal code online #1119

Closed sarahpearson closed 4 years ago

sarahpearson commented 4 years ago

Describe the bug

When I googled "CC0 legal code" to quickly get to the link to the CC0 legal code, the first result was this very strange URL and version of legal code with yellow highlighting: https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/legalcode#:~:text=Certain%20owners%20wish%20to%20permanently,works%2C%20reuse%20and%20redistribute%20as

To Reproduce

  1. Go to https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/legalcode#:~:text=Certain%20owners%20wish%20to%20permanently,works%2C%20reuse%20and%20redistribute%20as
  2. See the yellow highlights in the second paragraph of the Statement of Purpose

Expected behavior

I am not sure what this version is or where it came from, but it shouldn't be live on creativecommons.org.

@sarahpearson That is very strange. I'm pm'ing you with what I know.

There is only the official version of the license at that URL.

What you are seeing appears to be Chrome specific behavior. Having that anchor string does not result in highlighting behavior on Firefox or Safari.

For example, the following will result in "When I googled" being highlighted https://github.com/creativecommons/creativecommons.org/issues/1119#:~:text=When%20I%20googled in Chrome

How mystifying! Thanks for looking into it!

Indeed, because by fluke I highlighted, copy and pasted that exact language last time I visited the legal code. Weird, indeed!
