So, if you speak of structurally connecting *open* sources, as a basis for
smart editing tools, you seem to be saying that such copyrighted yet openly
accessible sources, as well as all genuinely paywalled sources, should be
excluded from these efforts.
If that's correct, and I am not misunderstanding what you mean to say here
(please correct me if I do!), how do you square it with the Wikimedia
vision?
She did not say anything about excluding references to proprietary
sources like those you mentioned above. I think we're all in agreement
they will still be referenced.
She described possible enhanced support for including/connecting to open
data. That may not be possible/advisable to do for proprietary data,
which might require proprietary licenses or software.
Of course, it depends on the actual details, but as an analogy think of
how fair use images are allowed on some specific projects (e.g. English
Wikipedia), but the central repositories (Wikimedia Commons and
Wikidata) only include open content/data.
