Wikisource already has a "Commonwealth copyright
wikisource"
it is called Wikilivres, and it is hosted in Canada.
On that website you will find many examples of works which are illegal
to distribute on US servers.
Whenever English Wikisource finds a work which is illegal in the US,
but legal in Canada, it is moved to Wikilivres.
Thank you, John. Of course, I can see how this can be a never ending
set of legal tests - illegal in USA and Canada but legal in India
(where you can replace India with any other locale) then host on
Indian server.
Wondering if there is a better way! And, if Commons can at least
search the meta data from this Canadian archive and possible future
other archives.
Best,
Gautam
