It occurred to me when I read the 588 statement being inserted into records by the University of Florida that we might have seen this before:

It is similar to the 996 field proposed by the withdrawn OCLC record use policy:
996:: ‡aOCLCWCRUP ‡i Use and transfer of this record is
governed by the OCLC® Policy for Use and Transfer of
WorldCat® Records ‡u http://purl.org/oclc/wcrup
Does the application of a CC0 declaration on records uploaded to WorldCat have the same kind of viral effect as was proposed by OCLC? I wonder --> http://dltj.org/article/cc0-marc-records/
