Details

The site contains no "term and conditions" and are therefore not open, however you should be able to safely reuse it.

Metadata is available in machine readable format and for bulk download: When you perform a search through Retsinformation.dk you can chose the option "Eksporter søgeresultatet" which gives you the search result in CSV - you can search for all documents to get a full CSV bulk download of the metadata of all legislation (although with 77,000 entries this sometimes over-stresses the server - if so make several queries).

Content of laws available in html-format and not as bulk-download: The section on the Lex Dania project (https://www.retsinformation.dk/Forms/R0500.aspx?page=5) outlines that all legislation is available in XML format as of 2007. So, data can be considered machine readable. But this data is not online.
