I actually wonder what's IMSLP's policy on importing scores from CPDL.org. They have a huge library of choir music, free downloads.
As far as I can see, their scores are CC-BY-SA, with no copyright notices.
Maybe merging their collection could be a next project, after the Sibley project is done?

Generally we've avoided duplicating items from CPDL as they are an active site with their own contributors, much like WIMA was before the merger. CPDL consists almost entirely of new editions and arrangements. A fair number of titles are not released under any of the Creative Commons licenses, so there's a limitation to any mirroring on our part from that aspect also. I think there has been some discussion over there about a possible merger with this site, and we are on very cordial terms with a number of folks there. For now it is probably best to not duplicate things (yes, I know there are a few items here already).

BTW, these forums as well the European IMSLP server are run by me, and I'm also a director and chief financial officer of CPDL. If IMSLP and CPDL were not on very cordial terms, I would have very serious problems with myself... :lol:
