When addressing issue #740 via PR #745, we decided not to display the default CC0 license to avoid unnecessary clutter. However, at the Invisibles Data Days last week in Munich, @lukasheinrich pointed out that the default license information (under Terms of Use) is not easy to find, so we should make it more prominent. If a license for a data table or an additional resource is not given explicitly, we should display the CC0 license, i.e.

name: CC0
url: https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/
description: CC0 enables reusers to distribute, remix, adapt, and build upon the material in any medium or format, with no conditions.

Another issue is that historically some submissions converted from the oldhepdata format wrote null values for the name, url and description before an issue HEPData/hepdata-converter#32 was addressed in the converter software. Example records are https://www.hepdata.net/record/95927?version=1 and https://www.hepdata.net/record/89321?version=1 . The CC0 license should be displayed for these cases.

@lukasheinrich : we now display the default CC0 license for all data tables and resources on hepdata.net where an alternative license is not specified explicitly. Thanks for the feedback.
