I really expect to not being, what in Brazil we call as "jogar lenha na fogueira" ("throw fuel on the fire" in a literal translation) but...
The question here is something that the Board of Trustees known since 2007 [1], when it raised firstly by Wikisource volunteers: what to do with works still protected in USA but PD-old on country of origin?
They finally remembered to research for legal advice for better alternates than making forks only recently, getting an answer more than one year ago [2].
So instead of communities fighting against communities we must demand that the Wikimedia Foundation really research on ways to proper support free knowledge in all countries, acting more quickly, instead of ignoring such subjects as they are shamefully doing until now.
Or it will end as some suggested to me back in 2007: every national groups making local forks and stopping to contribute in a global platform.

On this, I agree (at least partially) with David. If only some Commons admins were not pursuing a political campaign to delete URAA-affected
files
under false pretences, everything would be much better.
If you have the evidence that individual troublesome Commons admins are disrupting Commons against the aims of the project, then desysop them.
Hopefully, we will not go that far. The debate is still going on.
