Allow to select a CC-0 licence

[pamputt]

In addition to the CC by-sa 4.0 licence, would it be possible to propose to licence its recordings under the CC-0 licence? I am not an expert on legal stuff but from my point of view, there is no intellectual property for such basic work.

There is by default copyright on voice, and it's a personal interpretation of a phonem / word / sentence. I'am not sure CC-by-sa makes sense for our project. Especially since audios could be integrated to wikidata, which require CC-0. Yet, CC-by-sa worked fine for previous similar project and encouraged speakers to record more since it provided visibility and notability to them. I'am starting to think that a dual CC-by-sa-4.0 & CC-0 would be the best.

Not sure at all there is copyright on voice, because there is no creative work behind the recording but I understand it can be discussed. Anyway, it is not my interpretation and I personally licence my audio recording under CC-0 licence. A dual licence could be a good solution.

To clarify, I suggest to :

• force the speaker to agree for a dual CC-by-sa + CC0
• so the end users can choose either one or the other.

This have been practiced on commons such as dual "GPL + CC-by-sa, pick the one you favor"

[pamputt]

Agreed with that.

Note that it's not required for a media to be CC0 to be linked on Wikidata. In fact, the large majority of the pictures linked in the P18 property (image) are not CC0.

Done.
