| GitHub repositories display structural alignment with UDHR information freedom and collaboration rights (Articles 19, 26-27). Scores cluster moderately positive (0.4-0.7 range) reflecting open-access platform design. Limited negative signals; primary constraint is narrowness of evidence on repository page vs. broader GitHub platform context. Strong on Article 19 (freedom of expression/information) and Article 26 (education/accessibility); weaker on community duties (Article 29) and rights interpretation (Article 30). Platform-level modifiers reflect privacy protections (+0.15), accessibility (+0.2), and ownership limitations (-0.05). Landing Page
