Information required Translation:Pedro Castillo's Inaugural Address

Please could you tell us the licence that Castillo's speech is released by at the source site. We also need to know the source of the translation to English of the address. Both have a copyright that we need tag the work with to ensure that we can host that work. Thanks. — billinghurst sDrewth 06:57, 29 July 2021 (UTC)

@Billinghurst: Hello! I usually am on the Wikipedia side of things, so let me introduce myself as I am new. For the text, it would fall under PD-PE-exempt on Commons, but I can't seem to find a similar tag for Wikisource. As for the English translation, I translated it the best I could (not sure if this is permitted for Wikisource, so apologies). Thank you for the welcome and let me know if I can provide additional help!--WMrapids (talk) 21:01, 29 July 2021 (UTC)

If it is your translation, then I will move it to the Translation: namespace. Thanks for the link to the exemption, I will create a comparative licence here. — billinghurst sDrewth 02:25, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
