Hi,
On behalf of the Wikisource contributors, I request an official advice from the Wikimedia Foundation regarding copyright issues on Wikisource.
There's an ongoing discussion on the Foundation-level about whether or not we should provide such advice to communities. In the meantime, it would probably be good for people in the community with legal expertise to self-organize as an open advisory group (juriwiki-l seemed to be going in that direction, I'm not sure how active it still is).
juriwiki was a closed list, I thought?
can you please let us know if the Foundation's current position of a dignified silence changes, or if there is a permanent decision to never provide any such advice (and if so, please summarise the rationale and explain what projects of squabbling non-expert *volunteers* are supposed to do, exactly)? Commons has been lining up for some answers for a while now :P
