The corpus reproduces selected articles of the 디지털 기반의 원격교육 활성화 기본법 in Korean from the 국가법령정보센터, the Ministry of Government Legislation's official database.
Korean copyright law places statutes and decrees outside its protection. 저작권법 제7조 (국가법령정보센터 — 저작권법, read 2026-10-01 through the 국가법령정보센터 DRF API) provides: "다음 각 호의 어느 하나에 해당하는 것은 이 법에 의한 보호를 받지 못한다. 1. 헌법ㆍ법률ㆍ조약ㆍ명령ㆍ조례 및 규칙 2. 국가 또는 지방자치단체의 고시ㆍ공고ㆍ훈령 그 밖에 이와 유사한 것 [...] 4. 국가 또는 지방자치단체가 작성한 것으로서 제1호부터 제3호까지에 규정된 것의 편집물 또는 번역물"
Conditions: none attach to the statute text, because no copyright subsists in it. The corpus still identifies its source: each fact document names its source in its opening citation line and in its Meta section, and Sources here links the official text (the 국가법령정보센터). The changes (the selection of provisions, the Markdown layout and the added anchors) are described in Meta. The corpus does not claim that the publisher endorses it, and only the officially promulgated text is authentic.
