What CC0 means
A public resource should stay public.
Except where otherwise credited, this website, the brand system, and the original assets published with it are dedicated to the public domain under CC0 1.0 Universal. CC0 is a legal tool that allows a rights holder to waive copyright and related rights to the fullest extent permitted by law.
That means you may copy, modify, distribute, display, perform, remix, and use the material for personal or commercial purposes without asking permission. Attribution is appreciated because it helps people find and improve the project, but CC0 does not require it.
No trademark claimed
The mark belongs to all of us.
This project does not claim trademark rights to “You Will Do Better in Toledo.” The project’s original brand assets are dedicated to the public domain under CC0 1.0. You may download, use, modify, reproduce, and sell them for any purpose, personal or commercial, without permission or attribution.
This dedication applies only to rights the project can legally release. It does not waive rights that may be held independently by third parties or imply endorsement by this project, the City of Toledo, or anyone else.

Contributing
Give it back to everyone.
Contributions to this project must be ready to join the public domain under CC0. Only submit original work that you have the authority to dedicate, or material whose existing terms are clearly compatible with inclusion.
By contributing original work, you agree that it may be released with the project under CC0 1.0, to the extent legally possible. Do not contribute copyrighted images, writing, fonts, artwork, or other material that you do not have the right to release. Clearly identify any third-party source and its license.
Important limits
Public domain does not erase every right.
CC0 addresses copyright and related rights held by the person applying it. It does not grant trademark or patent rights, override privacy or publicity rights, clear rights held by other people, or imply that anyone endorses your use.
Third-party material is not covered when a separate credit or license is shown. Review those notices before reuse. All material is provided as-is, without warranties. You remain responsible for how you use it and for determining whether additional permissions are needed.
