No. It is generally accepted, including by the US Copyright Office, en.WS
and Wikimedia Commons, that works legally published anywhere in the world
before 1923 are out of copyright in the US.

(The 9th Circuit of the US Federal Court has ruled that "published" only
includes in the US (which, in case of a pre-2002 publication in the US,
could still mean that works are copyrighted in the US for 95 years from US
publication or until 2047, depending), but nobody else accepts that and I
believe Mike Godwin was happy to have a case on the matter to take to the
Supreme Court, so the WMF might be happy with such a case.)

Doesn't that apply only to books published in US?
Its copyright status in Gernany (published in Dresden) is probably 
unclear, so it should not be uploaded to Commons.
Its copyright status in Europe depends on Charlotte vital records, but 
so far I was not able to find any related data, especially her death 
date. If anyone have ideas about where I might found them, I open to 
suggestions.
It can be uploaded locally to oldwikisource and, likely, to some other 
wikis that recognize US copyright status only.

Good to know.

[Wikisource-l] IA Upload fixes

[Sam Wilson]

Hi all,

I've fixed a couple of issues with IA Upload:

* Some uploads, probably mostly from BUB, were running foul of the abuse
filter because they included a link to books.google.com. This link is
now being replaced prior to upload by the {{Google Book Search link}}
template (which is an ID template, not so much a search template).

* The attempt to find a creator template on Commons now discards date
ranges.

* Attempts to use the tool on items that don't have DjVu, PDF, or JP2
Zip files will now fail. I'm not sure what people who were attempting to
make DjVus of MP3s were thinking, but they'll get a nicer error message
now.

I dare say I'm broken something along the way, so do keep an eye out for
weirdnesses and let me know.

Thanks,
sam.
