Universal has three layers:
Layer #1: a waiver of all rights in the licensed work
Layer #2: a free license without any
Layer #3: a promise not to exercise
Subject matter under CC0 can be used without
any restrictions in different jurisdictions, as if it
was in the Public Domain

15. Europeana Data Exchange Agreement -
provisions for previews
You are encouraged to to provide Previews together with
your metadata (not required)
If you provide previews Europeana is entiteled to publish
them alongside search results.
The previews do not fall under the CC0 waiver, instead they
can be used according to the rights statement in edm:rights
Europeana will publish the URL of the preview via the API as
Linked Open Data. If you are not comfortable with this you
can opt out of this.

“With the exception of the previews, all data

used in accordance with the rights
