My point is : as it can be imagined that the number of CC-BY
scientific papers will likely sky-rocket in the next years, would not
it be relevant to try to organise "CC-BY scientific papers" driven
edit-a-thons
Importing text and images from freely licensed papers to Wikimedia wikis
is a common practice. Several initiatives exist to further spread it.
Wikimedia entities have stressed the importance of "libre open access"
(free licenses) for over a decade now.
I do not doubt that the inclination and the infrastructure exist on the
Wikimedia side. My point is that the number of compatible academic
papers is on the verge of increasing exponentially in the next few years
and that people involved in higher education should be aware of that
potentiality, be they scholars or (crucially) librarians.
