There's a German-language "Projekt Gutenberg"[1] as well, a long time maintained by the publisher Spiegel. They're the more popular project of that kind in Germany, so people probably didn't notice what Project Gutenberg was doing.

They claim some kind of edition copyright on the works as re-published by them[2] which is funny or sad, depending on how you look at it.
