[Cod-bugs] Questions about COD

[HERBET Marie-Emilia]

Hello,

I am a data librarian currently involved in a working group on domain specific data repositories at the national level in France. I am trying to gather information on COD to get better how it works so as to include it in our future repository selection tool.
Could you please tell me what is COD's main supervising institution? I saw that the repository received donations from several organisations but I don't quite understand what is its founding institution.
Second point, where is the data hosting service based and what is the long-term preservation policy of the repository?
Finally, I would like to know why COD opted for CC0 license instead of CCBY? The public domain license might deter some researchers from depositing their structures as this license does not require to cite the authors when reusing their structures.

Thank you in advance for the information.
Best regards,

Marie-Emilia HERBET
