Ah! You mean if a person wants to keep the corpus in a place of distribution! Yes?
Ok, I can follow that. As I've said, in ither case, I think Wikipedia would be the best run; it possess a pro-Rui license, has extensive material and is available to some exent in various languages (3 dozen-ish just from popping open, though, I acknowledge that those, like our own project, are probably not as complete as the engrish translation/s ).
Note to Rui: Not in any country in North America, but I promise nothing beyond that. Collections themselves, however, could be, but I have faith that there's some leeway on that.
