This version of Wikilivres came original from the Dutch Wikisource, where
WMF had to delete it:
Result of the disadvantage of having servers of Wikipedia/Wikisource in the
US.
Yes, the original texts of the diary are PD.

Sympa, surely from Poland. But are the really unaware
that the Dutch text
is available online, from Canada?

They could have also spent some money on a new Polish translation, to be
brought online in the public domain.

Hi Jan,
yes, this topic also had a lot of attention from Wikimedia Nederland
before (Although I believe we're not involved with this particular
project). I cc'd Sandra and Jos who are more involved with it.
Best,
Lodewijk

Hi all
Today WIPO celebrates World Intellectual Property Day
<http://www.wipo.int/ip-outreach/en/ipday/> and I just wanted to bring
to your attention a campaign by Communia, Kennisland, and Centrum Cyfrowe:
the three organizations have been looking into the copyright status of Anne
Frank's diary in Europe. It turns out that the original Dutch version is in
the public domain in Poland -- but not in the Netherlands.
Find more info about the #readannediary campaign that calls for shorter,
harmonized copyright terms here
