### English Licenses
44+
*Our public copyright licenses incorporate a unique and innovative
45+
"three-layer" design*:
46+
1. **Legal code**: the traditional legal tool *that most lawyers know and love*
47+
2. Human Readable **Deed**: *a format that normal people can read... a handy
48+
reference for licensors and licensees*
49+
3. Machine Readable **RDF**: *recognizes that software, from search engines to
50+
office productivity to music editing, plays an enormous role in the
51+
creation, copying, discovery, and distribution of works*
