Has anyone tried asking Microsoft if they’re willing to put Encarta (or at least Collier’s Encyclopedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collier's_Encyclopedia which it was developed from) under a Creative Commons license? They don’t seem to be doing much else with it, I assume they’ve probably written it off financially at this point, and they’d get some goodwill out of it.

Ooh, that's nice. But I'm really hoping for the Encarta/Collier's material to be free to legally distribute and adapt.
