More along the lines of Proj. Gutenberg. Lots of classical texts, and some
19th Century stuff.

It's not clear to me how much copyright they can place on the texts
(they didn't create them, and all(?) of the authors are long dead);
but they can copyright the collection, I think.
(FWIW, they share a disadvantage with Wikis in that their links
(autogenerated it seems) are sometimes faulty. E.g. the verb "bourne"
links to a list of people and places of that name.)
