Incorporating the metadata from the Wikimedia Commons
archive into our
database would be extremely useful both for us, since it would greatly
increase the quality of our results.
Your project is very interesting; you might know that
http://outofcopyright.eu/calculator.html has been recently published and
a wikimedian took part in the process (user:Multichill).
Actually I don't understand how you're going to use this information but
I agree that it should be available for everyone.
I only want to add to what Andrea said that actually looks like
something is moving now, see
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/License_integration_MediaWiki (see names
and other pages linked there); it would be great if you found some way
to join efforts to get something out of it...
