Summary Open Educational Access Acknowledges
This GitHub repository for manim-web (mathematical animation library) embodies UDHR principles through open source licensing and public access rather than explicit rights advocacy. The MIT license and free, unrestricted repository structure directly support Articles 19 (free expression), 26 (education), and 27 (cultural rights), while the collaborative contribution model supports participatory governance principles. The repository demonstrates how technical infrastructure can acknowledge and enable human rights through permissive design choices.
