Title: A technical/legal point: CC0 & CC BY

Little point in *just* supplying data online, there's more to it than just that.
We need to encourage open data. Explicitly (legally) allowing anyone to re-use, re-analyse, remix data for whatever reason at whatever time.
The legal barrier can be a significant one, therefore something should definitely be said about this IMO.
