Is there a way to attribute Creative Commons licensing in machine readble code?
Creative Commons does offer a digital code component of the license package. http://creativecommons.org/about/licenses Taking a License When you’ve made your choices, you’ll get the appropriate license expressed in three ways: 1. Commons Deed. A simple, plain-language summary of the license, complete with the relevant icons. 2. Legal Code. The fine print that you need to be sure the license will stand up in court. 3. Digital Code. A machine-readable translation of the license that helps search engines and other applications identify your work by its terms of use.
