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.
