Yes, that is the goal. As the

"Wikimedia Foundation is dedicated to the development and maintenance
of online free, open content ... under a free documentation license
..."

We can be successful while still maintaining our focus on providing
free content. If Wikisource is becoming something that requires
non-free content, then it should certainly change its scope so it can
return to its original mission.
