Why not just do this in the Wikisource project?

99% percent of "every published work" are free/libre. Only the last 70 years worth of texts are restricted by copyright, so it doesnt make sense to build a different project for those works.

i.e. Wikisource could still have a page about a source even if the text is not present.

But before that is feasible, we need a bigger Wikisource community, otherwise it will end up as a mess.
