I think the general consensus is that it should be available to
whoever, whenever and however ;) The problem is with giving the right
to modify any of the data. What if you have typo's? Who is responsible
for them? What if you start having multiple versions of them? What
about translations? Aren't those copyrighted? How are they treated
differently from the original text (in the eyes of the law).

Please, if someone knows any lawyers (friends, relatives, etc.) try
to ask for their advise. 

Thanks
