Research direction

Start by locating the “Issues by legal tool” section on the Legal code issues & errata page in the repository; the payload does not name a file or test. Remove the outdated parenthetical references to the new website launch and review the related wording noted in the body. Done when the published errata no longer says those changes are waiting for the new website.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

💻 aspect: code 🚦 status: awaiting triage 🛠 goal: fix 🟨 priority: medium

The Issues by legal tool section of the Legal code issues & errata page reads:

CC0 1.0

[…]

Description. The Deed page of CC0 1.0 refers to using “the license”; CC0 should be described as a legal tool. (This is not part of the legal code but will not be corrected until the new website is launched.)

Public Domain Mark 1.0

Description. The Deed page of PDM 1.0 refers to using “the license”; PDM should be described as a legal tool. (This is not part of the legal code but will not be corrected until the new website is launched.)

The parentheses are outdated following the launch of the new website (although the CC0 Deed page still contains “Use the license for your own material.”).

By the way ”This will be changed when we next version CC0” should presumably read something like “This will be changed when we release the next version of CC0”.
