The official repository of the law is Gazzetta Ufficiale but this is content format. An access in data format is available at Normattiva The web site offer the laws in xml format. There is no directly reference for a license, but, the owner of the service is "Istituto Poligrafico Zecca dello Stato" and this is in the list of the PAs.
