> Building codes are also put together by private groups, then adopted into model laws by various jurisdictions. Even though it is not supposed to be possible to copyright law, this practice dodges those restrictions. You end up having to pay quite a bit of money for these codes.
How does this work in detail? Once the law is adopted would it not be uncopyrightable?

You still have to get the documentation from the private group. It is much easier to get access to those now, I did have to register an account and I believe I was limited on the number of codes I could view, but I only needed to view one so it was a non-issue.
