Git for Global Law
The world's law in one git history. Every word traced to the law that wrote it for any country and any date.
An expansion of the same for the US Code, #1 on Hacker News (28/10/26). Semantic, searchable law on a global scale.

Free to use: CC0. Fork it, build on it, ship it in a product: no permission or credit needed. The law text sits in each country's repository, under that repository's own terms.
Each jurisdiction's law is its own repository, lexifina/<country>-law, where every commit is one law taking effect,
written by that law. This repository holds them all as submodules, arranged by jurisdiction, and moves each one forward
to its latest commit. The tools read the In-force date of every commit, so they give the law of any country on any
date.
