An inside look at the detail of the Creative Commons licensing tools.

Each licence has a legal code to ensure that it is understood and enforceable in law https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode

the commons deeds ensure that ordinary folk understand the licence https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

machine readable code is understood by search engines https://wiki.creativecommons.org/wiki/CC_REL
