Out of interest, is it legal to upload these at 00:00UTC, or at 00:00 where WMF is based?

There has already been some interest in it from a national newspaper. Congratulations and thank you to all that worked on putting it together; you've done a fantastic job. We now need to make sure that we follow up - and make these works available on Wikisource etc. as soon as we can tomorrow. Who can help with this? Brian: did you get anywhere with getting Stephen Fry etc. to record some of the works of Yeat to go onto Wikip/media?
