Hi Dmytro,
yes, Wikilivres is great, but is yet another website.
Wikisource communities are pretty small (compared to Wikipedia ones) and
we even have another multilingual Wikisource (oldwikisource), and again
another non-WMF multilingual one (Wikilivres)
I think it's too much :-)
we'd need to coordinate and focus our efforts.
My idea is: if we had a *server* with Wikisource content in Canada, for
example, we could simply use the normal copyright of the country of the
user of the local Wikisource?
It's a question, I don't know the answer.
But maybe it's worth asking the lawyers.

Hi Andrea,
Don't we have Wikilivres for that? Ideally it would be great if it was
operated by WMF though.
Best regards,
