Download - The Layers of the Creative Commons Lisence
The Three “Layers” of the Creative Commons Licenses
WHAT
The Legal Code Layer
The First Layer
Or…
Each license begins as a traditional legaltool
The layer is written in
A text format that lawyers understand
But…
most people, such as…
educators,
creators,
& scientist
are not lawyers, and that is why
there is a human readable license
What
is
the
Human
Readable
Layer
?
The Human Readable Layer, Commons Deed,
The Second LayerOr…
The Commons Deed is a handy reference
used by licensors and licensees
summarizing and expressing important terms and conditions.
The Final Layer
Otherwise known as the Machine Readable Layer
In order to make it easy
for the Web to know
when a work is available
under a Creative Commons license, we provide
a “machine readable”version of the license.
This is written into a format that
software systems, search engines,
and other kinds of technology can
understand.
