Hi!
In case anybody missed it, Mozart's complete works were recently published on the internet by the (Austria-based) International Mozart Foundation. http://today.reuters.com/news/articlenews.aspx?type=internetNews&storyID...
I'm not sure what license it's under. If it's a free one (or PD-equivalent), then it's similar in a sense to several ideas raised in Jimbo's idea drive sometime back.
A thought: If it is freely licensed, to what extent should the foundation consider republishing its content on WMF projects? Should WM avoid possibly stepping on the toes of other projects, avoiding duplicating any free conttent they make, or should it try to collect everything (and possibly give prominent credit) that falls under its mission? The general question may apply to other groups like Project Gutenberg's works.

It's great news, but some restrictions apply :-( See http://nma.redhost24-001.com/mambo/index.php?option=com_content&task=vie... for details. So, no blind copy, please.
Yes, sorry I was a bit hasty in fwding. They are discussing on foundation-l at the moment about whether or not it can be appropriate for Wikimedia, and how so. See http://mail.wikimedia.org/pipermail/foundation-l/2006-December/012138.html .
