Creative Commons Public Domain Mark (button)

Public Domain Mark (PDM) is a symbol used to indicate that a work is free of known copyright restrictions and therefore in the public domain. It is analogous to the copyright symbol, which is commonly used to indicate as copyright notice that a work is copyrighted. The Public Domain Mark was developed by Creative Commons.[1][2]

Uses

For instance Wikimedia Commons has on February 2016 2.9 million works (~10% of all works) listed as PDM.[3]
