License

Rfam is freely available under the Creative Commons Zero (“CC0”) licence.

We choose CC0 because:

  • It is most in line with the spirit of EMBL-EBI’s Terms of use and places data in the public domain without constraints. We believe that this approach to research data sharing strengthens open science and scientific progress.
  • It is the best way to encourage remixing and reuse as it makes clear to any user – academic, commercial or otherwise – that the data are not owned by anyone and therefore can be used freely.
  • It saves researchers time when reusing the data, which speeds up the process of science.

Rfam conforms to the EBI long-term data preservation policy.
