Creative Commons Licenses are built with a 3-layer design: a legal code, a commons deed, and a machine readable version. There are four elements to CC-Licenses that when combined make up six different licenses. These licenses give the users additional rights for CC-licensed works that range in their restrictions. The least restrictive license is CC-BY which only requires that use attributes the source.  To learn more about attribution, visit the Attribution Builder in the left column.
