Please better explain
Hi. One cannot make a bald statement that the work cannot be copyrighted, you would need to justify the claim and appropriately apply the selection from copyright tags. Further, we would not replicate a single entry from a collective work, it would be outside of our scope at expressed at What Wikisource includes. So please would you address how the work is within scope, and why the work is considered to be in the public domain. Thanks. — billinghurst  sDrewth  09:53, 3 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Copyleft, that's what Messer says in the article. But I think it fails on the second ground, namely that we cannot reproduce the whole book. Do you think Wikibooks would be better for it? Or another project? Tgeorgescu (talk) 16:15, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Umm, not sure. You could put it before the community at WS:S and explain its circumstances and see whether we wish to make an exception for the work due to the circumstances you have explained. Re Wikibooks, they don't see their job as reproducing other's works, though I have never quite understood WB. — billinghurst  sDrewth  20:16, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
