Thank you Lugusto, I made mine. I was wondering: would it be crazy to ask the WMF Legal team if something could be done, for Wikisource, for the URAA problem? I mean: could it be possible to store all the Wikisource content in a server outside US? Would it change anything?

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.
