146 points by tosh 3 hours ago | 29 comments on HN | Technical documentation website exhibiting MILD POSITIVE alignment with UDHR through open-source practices and unrestricted information access. Strong scores on information freedom (Article 19), collaborative association (Article 20), education access (Article 26), and intellectual production protection (Article 27). Limited explicit rights-based messaging; positive lean derives primarily from structural features (open licensing, public distribution, barrier-free access) rather than editorial advocacy. No negative indicators observed. Domain context amplifies scores through open-source governance model and transparent licensing. Editorial · v3.4 · 2026-02-25
