Hi Dmytro, yes, Wikilivres is great, but is yet another website. Wikisource communities are pretty small (compared to Wikipedia ones) and we even have another multilingual Wikisource (oldwikisource), and again another non-WMF multilingual one (Wikilivres) I think it's too much :-) we'd need to coordinate and focus our efforts.
My idea is: if we had a *server* with Wikisource content in Canada, for example, we could simply use the normal copyright of the country of the user of the local Wikisource? It's a question, I don't know the answer. But maybe it's worth asking the lawyers.
