Yann I totally agree with this.
The problem is, that the URAA RFC goes against that statement entirely by ignoring or turning a blind eye to the copyright status of files in the US.
Can you explain why there is the blaring discrepancy in your viewpoint here?

My point here is not about URAA, but about exaggerate requirements from some contributors. And gaming the system is exactly what YOU did when you speedy deleted the 4 files I mentioned in my first message.
I several times proposed to allow only a restricted sets of files affected by URAA, not all (e.g. only files older than 50? years, or/and orphan/anonymous files, and/or government files). It seems there is a wild consensus about such a compromise, but you deliberately ignore my proposal, and choose to attack unilaterally the whole issue.
