[edit]

This article discusses links to infringing works. What about links to works that are Public Domain in Canada but not in the USA?

For example:

English Wikisource has links to texts on wikilivres.ca. This is like Wikisource but unrelated to the WMF and publishes texts that are public domain in Canada but not PD in the the USA. Gutenberg.ca also has texts that are PD Canada.

Wikidata has a property to link to online copies of works provided they are legally licensed. Is there a problem with linking to works that are PD in Canada but not PD in the USA? Filceolaire (talk) 10:32, 9 November 2013 (UTC)Reply
