Not just that. May I remind people that German is not just spoken in Germany. Austria, Liechtenstein and Switzerland come to mind. So if it is not allowed under German law, but is under their law we could always make a writ that the de.wikiquote is meant for country xxx .
Not to mention that German is spoken by a non-zero number of people in the United States, where the servers are hosted and where such collections of quotes are legal... (The same is true of Japanese and most other languages.)
