OK. So let's drop the 'legal scholarship' from the original thread and get back on topic.

For a different example, Nina Paley recently released her full catalog of works, comic art, video short, and feature film, under CC-SA. This seems to me unequivocally interesting to Wikisource. The media should also be uploaded to the Archive, but we simply have less control over classification, organization into galleries, metadata manipulation and commenting there. And there is no way to provide translations or other-lanugage entries or articles alongside the original source materials. [the Archive is not that friendly to non-english-readers] Wikimedia currently doesn't like files as large as a feature film, or even a high-def short. (how should we address this? Brion mentioned something about making video easier to upload in November.) But is there any reason not to include other bodies of published sources now available under free license? Wikisource is currently the closest thing available to a unified place to categorize, comment on, and provide bidirectional links to source text and files of any sort. It should in some ways be our largest project, and even our most widely cited.
