Hi all,

We thought that you would like to know, today Digital Science releases
their Global Research Identifier Database (GRID) under CC0 License.

This is a great thing for the open data community who can benefit from
using GRID, allowing seamless integrations with other open datasets and
software tools.

The CC0 license means that others may freely build upon, enhance and reuse
GRID data for any purposes, without restriction under copyright or database
law, similar to many open source software licenses. The CC0 license removes
any hurdles associated with the current license.
